IMO, Aubrey Dollar would have been a better choice to play Sara in this.

She played Zoe in this sequel but i think she would have made a very good Sara if they couldnt get Julie Stiles to return or even if they werent looking to get her to return. If youre doing a sequel to a movie, and youre going to use the same character from the original and cannot get that actress to reprise her role or simply wanna go with someone different, i would think to choose someone that somewhat resembles the actress from the first film. Isabella Miko may have already had the dancing talent, but i think the girl that plays one of her friends, Aubrey Dollar, somewhat resembles Julia Stiles and would have been a better choice lookswise as Sara. Also, i know that Columbus Short wasnt to play Derek but a different character entirely, but i cant help but wonder if he was brought on as a different character like an homage to the first film. His character is very similar to Derek.
