The suit accuses Universal of engaging in deceptive marketing, and seeks to recoup at least $5 million on behalf of affected consumers.
"Because consumers were promised a movie with Ana De Armas by the trailer for 'Yesterday,' but did not receive a movie with any appearance of Ana de Armas at all, such consumers were not provided with any value for their rental or purchase," the lawsuit states.
WESTWOOD, CALIFORNIA - NOVEMBER 14: Ana de Armas attends the Premiere of Lionsgate's "Knives Out" at Regency Village Theatre on November 14, 2019 in Westwood, California. "Yesterday" stars Himesh Patel as Jack Malik, a singer-songwriter who, through a supernatural occurrence, is the only person on Earth who remembers the Beatles. Malik rockets to stardom by claiming credit for their songs.
De Armas was to appear as Roxane, a love interest who is introduced to Malik on the set of James Corden's talk show. Malik was to serenade her with a rendition of George Harrison's song"Something." But the scenes with de Armas' character were removed.that audiences did not like the idea of Malik straying from his primary love interest in the film, portrayed by Lily James.
"That was a very traumatic cut, because she was brilliant in it. I mean really radiant," Curtis told the outlet."You know, it's one of those things where it's some of our favorite scenes from the film, but we had to cut them for the sake of the whole." The suit describes de Armas as a"talented, successful, and famous actress," and notes her roles in"Blade Runner 2049,"
