We’ve all seen movie trailers that gets us excited to see the movie. And if you’re like me, you’ve seen a movie or two that doesn’t meet expectations because it was nothing like the trailer. In Woulfe v. Universal City Studios, LLC, the United States District Court for the Central District of California refused to dismiss Woulfe’s false advertising claims, finding that a deceptive movie trailer can form the basis of false advertising claims and that trailers are not necessarily immune from suit by the First Amendment because trailers are commercial in nature.
