This is exactly the trailer that came to mind when I saw the thread title.

But movie trailers are kind of deceptive by nature.

But movie trailers are kind of deceptive by nature. I draw the line at footage that isn't in the movie. There's manipulative and there's false advertising. |

Pretty much all advertising is deceptive to some degree. For instance did you know the ice cream used in ads is actually just mashed potatoes with food coloring?  |

Any updates on that Macaroni & Cheese case?
All my life, I've see cooking times reference different lengths depending on Temperature, Humidity, Altitude (Air Pressure), Pot Size, and Cooking Power, Ingredient's size and quality and freshness, and so on... And how fast people complete each of the steps...
It will never cook the same for everyone...
What is printed on the box, is the average time involved to make the dinner.
And so, recipes, are always misleading when making dinner, in some way or another.
And yet, I've never noticed that it was a problem for most consumers & food companies, until recently.
And that is with a product in which you know what is supposed to go into it, and what the end result is supposed to be.
Movies are supposed to lie to us, so that we don't get spoiled and figure out the ending before people even go to see the movie.

Star Wars: Episode II: Attack Of The Clones...
Hmm... Must be an entire film about Yoda.

Trailers seem to show either too much or they misrepresent the movie. I don't know what to feel about them making it lawfully punishable to put footage not found in the actual film, but I do think it needs to stop and if this is what it takes, then so be it.

It isn't as if the colored mashed potatoes look different from the actual ice cream. I assume they use colored mashed potatoes because it won't melt. Now what could be seen as false advertising is if that picture includes stuff you aren't actually getting, such as the strawberries. The first thing I thought of was cereal. On the box of non-sugar cereals there will often be fruit on the cereal, it is just common understanding that you aren't going to get fruit on the cereal for obvious reasons. |

The idea of suing a movie studio for $5 million because you were “duped” into renting a movie a two year old movie for $3.99 seems pretty silly.
