Two fans of Ana de Armas , Peter Michael Rosza and Conor Woulfe , last yearwon the ability to take Universal to courtover a “ deceptive trailer ” for the filmYesterday . The trailer they saw have de Armas , butthe picture they watcheddid not . The main argument they gave was : are trailer artistic expression , or commercials ?
The U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson hold that trailers might have had artistic merit but the ultimate goal was one of commercial pursuit ; to win over an audience to purchase something . Under this ruling , Wilson allowed the suit to go forward . However , Wilson has now predominate that while the argument to add the suit is valid , the two plaintiffs do n’t really have a strong enough case , and has brush off the suit .
His decision hinged on the idea that this was a “ self - inflict injury . ” watch once might have appropriate for a viable argument , but Woulfe watched the picture a second clip , and there was not sufficient grounds that he “ pretty relied on any falsification ” when watching a second time . There is still that first ruling — that if you desire to attempt to turn out that a trailer was maliciously deceitful , you could file away some paperwork and take the studio to court . It seems like it would be a laborious sell , frankly , but there ’s a weird small precedent now — especially in an age where certain studio have made it their affair to curate drone - specific textile to throw offspoilers and speculation , or just to purveya certain vibration .
