Absolutely not. The Wikipedia article says explicitly that it was announced back in 2006.

And maybe the actress wasn't fully Japanese?

She's not Japanese at all. She's Korean.

I dunno, I'm just making smart guesses.

No.

Remember Star Trek? Yeah, no one knew much of the movie's production until close to it's release.

Not true at all. I knew a lot of about Star Trek long before its release.

I just made this thread to express the fact that despite the fact that I try to keep on top of these sorts of things, somehow this movie was made without me noticing and the way I learned about it was by seeing a commercial on TV.

Maybe the actress is like Lucy Lu. Born Chinese, but raised American.

Not only is what you said miraculously both technically correct and profoundly stupid, but like I said above, she is Korean. Not an American of Asian descent. She is a Korean person from South Korea.
