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.
