This reminds me of "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within" and the huge push from Square Enix to bill the main character Aki Ross as the first "digital actress". There's obvious differences with this, but I still remember buying magazines with Aki on the cover and seeing interviews about how she was the future of the film industry.
And while that didn't pan out as planned, both CGI and live action continued, and coexist.
