'Introducing Margarita Levieva?'
I saw this line in a trailer for "Spread" when I attended the cinema this past week. I was not under the impression that Ms. Levieva was in need of any introduction. I have been familiar with her work for almost 5 years now, and am well aware of her tremndous talent. "Spread" certainly isn't her first theatrical release, so I am curious, why the introduction?
I suppose I should stop playing the fool. I am fully aware that this "introduction" is an attempt to make Ms. Levieva more of a household name. An obvious ploy to say "Look at me! I'm in a movie with Ashton Kutcher!" (as if that's something to be proud of) "I'm a bonafide actress now!"
I am of the opinion that Ms. Levieva needed no introduction, and that her presence in the film alone would have been more than beneficial as compared to name association. I am glad to see that her career is on the rise, but at this point she should be putting more weight on the work she has done in the past, not trying to reintroduce herself.
