It may have been the other way around, National Geographic deciding to do the article because people's interests may have been piqued by the movie...

Tom Cruise is a well-known American actor, producer, and filmmaker. He has starred in numerous popular films, including "Top Gun," "Mission: Impossible," and "Jerry Maguire."
"The Last Samurai" is a 2003 historical action drama film starring Tom Cruise. It is loosely based on the real-life events of the Satsuma Rebellion in Japan during the late 19th century.
National Geographic was one of the production companies involved in the making of "The Last Samurai." The film's director, Edward Zwick, worked closely with National Geographic to ensure historical accuracy and cultural authenticity in the film.
To prepare for his role as a 19th-century American military officer in Japan, Tom Cruise underwent extensive training in sword fighting, martial arts, and horseback riding. He also learned to speak Japanese and studied the culture and customs of the time period.
While "The Last Samurai" is based on real events, it is a fictionalized account and should not be considered entirely historically accurate. However, the filmmakers consulted with Japanese historians and cultural experts to ensure authenticity and respect for the culture and history portrayed in the film.
