No-Go for BoA in Hollywood

SM Is Not Considering Hollywood for BoA

We had reported before about the possibilities of BoA starring for the movie, "Hype Nation." However, it seems like seeing BoA on the big screen won't be so easy anymore.

BoA had recently been receiving numerous spotlights not only in Asia, but here in the U.S. as well. When the consideration for BoA's stellar casting for this movie was released to the press, netizens and fans arose with the same question.

Is BoA finally pursuing acting?

Yes, it's true. Such as BoA taking the role of Cho Chang in the Harry Potter series, there have actually been quite a few rumors about her debuting as an actress for the past decade. Although all were eventually proven to be fake, her role in "Hype Nation" looked even more plausible after their initial choice of Son Dambi, who ended up leaving the project. I guess this is just more "hype" as well, since SM released their negative thoughts toward BoA's Hollywood debut.

SM Entertainment revealed, "One of our USA representatives did have a conference with the movie maker after receiving the love call, but there was absolutely no progress after that. So we are not considering it."

It sure saddens all of us, to see another great star walk away from such a promising chance. After all, fans weren't so "Crazy" about Son Dambi's choice for SBS Dream over Hollywood.

It makes me cringe by just thinking about her acting…in English.
She has such a strong accent! good thing she didn’t get it.

Bad Choice. Seriously BOA should really consider alternative pathways to enter into American’s entertainment industry besides releasing like a gazillions of albums that nobody cares about.

America’s changing BoA. All her songs have her voice completely digitalized anyway, she just seems like any American singer dancer now.

Isn’t it better that she doesn’t do the movie than doing it, only to receive tons of bad light from it? It’s apparently an indie-movie (so few people would watch it anyway), it has had a massive amount of trouble getting made and it’s more than very likely that it’ll suck. They should keep Boa as far away from the movie as possible. They made a good choice! Probably the best choice they’ve made reagarding Boa’s US career.

She’s going to be in Harry Potter??
lol isn’t that better than that movie that no one has heard of XD
If she’s gonna be in it, i can’t wait to see it ^^
I don’t see anything wrong with Acting and Singing.

 
bisayan ispisyal's avatar

she’s gonna be in harry potter??? hahahaha didnt know that!!!!

 
JaePan's avatar

She was originally going to go for the role of Cho Chang, but Katie Leung got the role.
She’s not going to replace her in the last movies or anything.
i was really excited to see BoA in hollywood, but i guess its worth waiting for her to find something even bigger right!?
BoA hwaiting~!

Oh well too bad for me x)

 
azalea's avatar

agree with @21 and @26

 
warchiLd03's avatar

Boa won’t ever be Cho Chang in HP cuz J.K Rowling told Warner Bros. to cast only British Actors…. :D
though… i really don’t like her doing some movies on Hollywood…

 
kashi_borz's avatar

she’s good at singing..she should focus on that..

 
theoretically's avatar

Good. She still can’t speak English well, how is she going to be in a movie? And just because she’s in it doesn’t mean it’d be insta-success. I have a hard time believing she was considered for Cho Chang, though. Talk about a role she couldn’t do at all.

I think SM is really screwing up. I think in terms of BoA she should move from SM USA and try to find another label that would do a better job. I love to see BoA in Hype Nation. If SM wants to get their name back as a good agency, I ould try my hardest to get her into that movie. Damn its like SM doesnt want their artist to succeed after a certain point.

I hope she’ll make it… ^^

 
WgSunbethy's avatar

go go BOA<_<

 
mzpinay x3's avatar

lol damn.. They need to think of something even better for her to do then.

 
blackangel21's avatar

i just don’t understand why everything keeps flopping… so sad i really like her and she has a fan base in the us

 
xsharetheworld's avatar

I shall wait for the day when it finally happens. T-T

 
no avatar

I guess everyone’s disappointed but me. I knew this wasn’t going to pull through.

 
Baa's avatar

Aw.
I actually thought it might happen.
Maybe this movie will never be made, lol.

 
LL's avatar

wasn’t she considered as Cho Chang like…before the character even came into HP? lol
@32: i thought Katie Leung was Scottish? o_O? lol
anyway…i really hope BoA would debut in a cool dancing movie =) a successful one like Step Up? haha whatever she and SM choose, i hope its all for the better

IT WAS A RUMOR that she was going to be in HP. That was YEARS ago, and obviously, it was MERELY a rumor because Cho Chang speaks perfect English with a BRITISH ACCENT. Why would they pick a Engrish-speaking Korean?! lol…
Plus, Cho doesn’t even come in in the 7th book anymore. So I don’t see why they would recast for a role that might get only 4 minutes screentime at most.  -_-

Yeah.. SM USA sucks balls. Like everyone expected her to be a huge success here cause she has *SM* behind her. They turn out to be just as a fail of a company as YG in America.

OMGG

eunii's avatar

dream is a fail of a drama.
shows that famous celebrities like son dam bi and kim bum don’t make the drama a success.

on a side note, i wish boa was acting for that movie though..
