Just read this:
Apparently two people sued Universal because there's an actress in the trailer for the movie Yesterday who, due to editing, isn't actually in the final cut of the movie. They made the argument that this was false advertising, but apparently the case got quite complicated and the two men were on the hook for $120k of legal fees! They just settled out of court.
It seems kinda bizarre to me. I mean, if you go see a movie because the trailer or poster depicts something not in the movie, surely that's reason enough to be entitled to a refund or rebate of some sort? It just seems like such an open and shut case.
