Derek Hough on Big Screen!

My disappointment about Derek Hough leaving "Dancing with the Stars" this season is somewhat lessened after learning that he's working on a movie musical to be released in 2012. As the world's most avid fan of both Derek and film musicals, how can I complain?

Derek will be co-starring with lovely South Korean singer/dancer/actress BoA in Cobu 3D , which tells the story of two star-crossed dancers in New York who become involved in a rivalry between their brothers' undergroud dance clubs. Duane Adler, director of the Step Up and Save the Last Dance flicks is helming this film, so there should be plenty of dancing -- and I can hardly wait to see it!

Still, with the world's greatest dancer missing from "Dancing with the Stars," that show just won't be the same this year.
