Lots of stuff happened this past week! We found out that Derek is back on DWTS for one more season, dancing with Kellie Pickler, and that he and Julianne have created and are Executive Producing a TV series (scripted drama) for Starz called “Blackpool”. Then Derek and Kellie flew to Nashville to rehearse and “do the town”. 
Here’s the week on Twitter…in pictures.

Because really, if he’s going to tweet pictures like this, the movie best be imminent.
Duane Adler got on twitter tonight and graciously answered a bunch of questions about Cobu’s status for some lucky fans who happened to be online. I was not one of them, unfortunately, but Derek fans did well and asked all the right questions. The only thing I would have done differently is asked specifically about a US release date – if it is also going to happen this year. I saw some assumptions that was the case, but many of you know how I feel about assumptions.
I believe “Let Me In” is the song that Derek wrote for the movie
When he says “post” he means “post production”.
Duane tweeted this picture of his production board:
Duane also tweeted this picture from production of him and the cast toasting: Well, I think it’s old but it only has 11 views and the article it was posted with is current with regard to who’s still in DWTS. It starts with the bing challenge, moves on to Shawn, Cobu/BoA and his music. Yes, the video gets screwed up about halfway through, but the audio is fine. Eeep!! So exciting. Someone at the KCON captured this footage from Cobu. Man, can’t wait for this movie!! Thanks to xMRCfanx for the heads up. The watermark says Cori@boajjang.com – we love her for getting this video. You can see Derek and BoA in this video of Yunho also. @Cobu3DTweets tweeted this a while ago and I re-tweeted, but I figured I would add it here.
A few weeks ago, I compiled a few interview questions for Derek and I asked around to see what others want to know. I tried to cover all the bases – without getting personal! – and he’s answered the questions for us. We’ll have to hope that he updates us when he can – I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m always wanting to hear more, more, more! Thanks, Derek!
PDH: What do you think will be Maria’s strengths and weaknesses on the dancefloor? Derek: Maria is fearless on the dance floor. She’s up for anything and has really made a marked improvement early on in the competition.
PDH: After 9 seasons on TV show like DWTS, what is it like to look back at your competition days? Was it harder or easier to be the student under Corky and Shirley as opposed to being the teacher? Derek: I enjoy being a student and learning. I don’t think you should ever stop being a student. That’s where the most creative ideas come from. Teaching is a blessing as well because I get to share what I’ve learned and my passion for creative movement with people.
PDH: Are you more or less competitive on DWTS than you were when you were dancing competitively out of London, or is it just too different to compare? Derek: I’m generally a competitive person in life. I want to be the best that I can be regardless of whether it’s a competition or a show.
PDH: You created some spectacular professional dances last season. For example, your dance with Allison Holker – amazing. Are the two of you planning something for the DWTS ballroom this season? From your tweets, it looks like you were working on something together. Derek: You never know what I have up my sleeve!
PDH: Speaking of tweets, we know that you are creating some new music. Is a solo album in your future or other musical projects? Derek: I like to keep my hand in the music arena. I enjoy having multiple ways of expressing myself. I’ve written music for my upcoming feature debut Cobu 3D.
PDH: We know you are a triple threat, if you could drop yourself into any current Broadway show, which would it be? Any plans in that direction?? Derek: I’m always open to the idea of doing Broadway or a stage show.
PDH: Your fans, and the fans of your costar BoA, are anxiously waiting to see Cobu 3D. I’ve seen release dates for Europe and Asia discussed in various places. When can we see it in the U.S. and any chance you and BoA will do a dance on DWTS to promote it, like Julianne did for Footloose? Derek: Release dates should be announced soon!
PDH: Do you want to do another movie, and if so – what genre interests you most? Derek: I’d love to do more films. I’d like to explore doing comedy.
PDH: Same question regarding television – we thought you were a natural on “Better With You”. Derek: Television is such a fast paced medium to work in and I’d love to do more.
PDH: What have you learned about Maria that surprised you, besides the cute laugh, and what do you think of your chances this season? We’ll be voting!! Derek: I think that with Maria’s drive we have just as good a shot as anyone this season!
No idea what this video is for, but it’s a tiny bit of Derek and BoA dancing for Cobu 3D. I’m sure someone will comment and clue poor, clueless me in on the secret of this video. I don’t know if I can wait much longer to see Derek on the big screen along with BoA, Wesley Jonathan, Will Yun Lee and the rest.
Just a small mention in an article about K-Pop Stars, including BoA. From NY1:
Video of BoA being interviewed for this article Just a short, teeny tiny video of Derek, BoA and Napoleon (and Bree?) working on the movie – Derek is watching the playback with BoA in 3D. Here’s a hint of where Derek was on Friday night, from E!:
I think earlier in that same evening, he tweeted this lovely picture of him, his mom and sisters.
