kinda afraid about that too :( but i dont think this movie is gonna be popular so i dont think its that big of a deal lol

ILoveGeniuses 27th January 2011 01:51 PM

@all.night.raver: Well i guess we'll just have to wait and see. Honestly, I do agree that BoA still needs to work A LOT on her English. I have however noticed that she seems to be beginning to more absorb the American culture and lifestyle. Just I don't think BoA's the Asian artist with the best English. People like Hikaru Utada and Yuna Ito for example are excellent, but that's more so due to where they grew up. Anyways, I did hear Tiffany from SNSD in English and hers' is pretty good too. Also, I've been keeping up with the WG's here in America, and the absolute most recent video had me stunned. Their English is seriously improving. It's much clearer and better spoken than it was like a year ago.

Anyways, about BoA, let's just hope she's been taking some major serious English classes. Jackie Chan does well without the most excellent English in the world, but I think that's usually cause he does action comedies in America. I can't see America liking that sorta broken English in a serious dance film.

noisy_harmony 27th January 2011 02:10 PM

Am I only one who is bored with whole "BoA in America" thread?

let that movie filming + eventual promo finish as fast as possible

well atleast we get cute boa pics of her with huge pizzas??? XD
im excited if she's gonna release another english album, her first was really good :love though she needs to cut down with the autotune :grumpy

ILoveGeniuses 27th January 2011 02:39 PM

^agree with the autotune. And if she does another English album, she better get better promotion than last time.

hearted 27th January 2011 02:56 PM

^ugh totally!!! sm should really go to jype for some promotion advice

ILoveGeniuses 27th January 2011 03:03 PM

^agreed. It's amazing what some real promotion can do. Just look at WG's. They made their single "Nobody" @ #31 on the year end Billboard charts. BoA could manage that if she promoted a lot more.

hearted 27th January 2011 03:05 PM

^i think so too! her english songs are awesome for clubs and i showed Eat You Up to some of my friends here and they all LOVED it!!!

ILoveGeniuses 27th January 2011 03:17 PM

^I got the same reaction from most of mine as well.:D:D Sadly, showing friends just isn't enough to boost sales of an album enough to jump it up the charts into the top 20 unless you have like over a million friends.

BoA cast in leading role for Hollywood film, “COBU 3D”

Hallyu queen BoA will be making her Hollywood debut through the film, “COBU 3D“!

BoA will be starring alongside Derek Hough, the champion of America’s hit reality show, ”Dancing with the Stars“. The two stars play the role of dancers who grew up in vastly different environments, and so they knock heads when they first meet at an underground New York club. Although they start off as fierce rivals, they eventually fall into a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ type of love.

Duane Adler (who’s known for his work with “Save the Last Dance” and “Step Up“) will be directing the film, and it’s being co-produced by Robert Cort, CJ Entertainment, and SM Entertainment.

“COBU 3D” aims to escape from the standard dance movies that focus on battles instead of delivering a solid storyline. The film will shed light on a beautiful love story, as well as spotlighting a variety of dance styles including tap, hip hop, and swing.

The movie is scheduled for an early 2012 release, and CJ Entertainment will be distributing it in Korea, China, and Japan. Lionsgate International will be the international sales agent, and they’re planning to begin pre-sales at the Berlin International Film Festival this February.

Meanwhile, BoA will begin official preparations for her role this coming Spring!

cobu what

ILoveGeniuses 28th January 2011 01:43 PM

^Interesting... but what does "cobu" even mean? But i suppose if they cast her as a foreigner that America won't mind the not-so-perfect English as much.

Mirai Noah 28th January 2011 06:25 PM

Whoa, people might actually watch this movie since Derek Hough's in it!

But yeah, what does COBU mean?

and movie synopsis:
Quote:

COBU 3D
Combining tap, hip hop and taiko drumming, COBU 3D tells the story of Donny and Aya: two incredible dancers from different worlds whose Romeo and Juliet-like romance is threatened

Year of production : 2011

Director(s) : Duane ADLER
Writer(s) : Duane ADLER
Cast : Boa , Derek HOUGH

Producer(s) : Robert CORT, Eric HETZEL, Cj ENTERTAINMENT, Sm ENTERTAINMENT


Synopsis
Talented young performer Donny (Hough) heads to New York to restart his life and join his brother Nick in running the city’s newest breed of club — a showcase for the next generation of hottest dancers from around the globe. Donny is blown away when he sees Aya (BoA), a sexy but elegant dancer with moves that counter his own and whose fusion of tap, hip hop and taiko drumming creates a style unlike anything he's ever imagined. Unbeknownst to him, Aya is the sister of Nick’s biggest enemy who owns the rival dance club. As Donny and Aya fall harder for each other, the competition between their brothers only intensifies. Soon Donny must choose the girl of his dreams — or his own blood.

...things are getting weirder and weirder

^really? that's BoA with the black hair? it doesn't look like her at all to me.
I am happy for black hair though! blonde doesn't suit her at all.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FOREVER YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

she looks her age again!! (or maybe even younger!) the blonde was just.. no and made her look much much much older than she is

ILoveGeniuses 29th January 2011 08:59 PM

The movie synopsis sounds interesting... just doesn't sound like something American to me. This will definitely be quite compelling to see how they're going to do this movie.:D

noisy_harmony 30th January 2011 02:49 PM

Lady~Deviance 31st January 2011 03:30 AM

To be honest, I'm not all that excited to see this movie. For some reason dance movies do nothing for me. My family on the other hand LOVE dance movies but I'm the odd one out. Since this movie does focus more on the story and not solely on the dancing I hope it does well.

ILoveGeniuses 5th February 2011 04:18 PM

Well, does anyone think BoA might also do the movie theme song to COBU? Just I hope her English has improved. A lot of ppl in America were complaining about Jay Chou's Engrish in The Green Hornet. I'm worried BoA could get same response if her English isn't improved to like near perfection for her film.

I agree with you up to a point. I find many of them boring and bland but you can also find many gems, which can be better than most of songs from artist's standard discography!

BoA's like queen of OSTs. We, Mist, Sunshine, be with you (YES I LOVE THAT SONG) and others <3 Every Heart counts as well xD

Netizens have been chuckling over a hilarious photo BoA shared through her Twitter.

The songstress is seen trying to chomp on a giant ‘Chupa Chups’ lollipop, the size of which is just as huge as her head. BoA candidly tweeted, “BIG Chupa chups".

Fans noticed her short hairstyle, and some began to wonder if she cut it even shorter.

Responding to her fans, BoA laughed and said that it was an old photo: "didn’t cut my hair though!!! ;) was my old picture!!”

Netizens and fans left comments including, “It’s really big,” “How do you eat that?“, “You can eat that for a month“, and “Remembering the big pizza, I guess BoA likes big sizes.”
