Julia Stiles says “it would be so special” to do a ‘Save The Last Dance’ sequel
Save The Last Dance.The 2001 film, which follows aspiring dancer Sara (played by Stiles), a white midwestern girl who moves to Chicago and falls in love with Derek (Sean Patrick Thomas), a Black teen from the South Side with a rough, semi-criminal past, was a worldwide box office hit.A sequel was released in 2006, starring Izabella Miko and Columbus Short, but it didn’t garner the same type of acclaim as its predecessor.Speaking in a new interview about the film, both Stiles, who was 19 at the time of filming Save The Last Dance, and Thomas said they would potentially be interested in reprising their roles for a sequel, providing it has a good enough storyline.“It would be so special. I would be a lot less nervous,” Stiles told E! News.
