It seems as though doing a sequel is just a smart idea in every conceivable way. If production companies wanted a remake so they could make jason look new and different (purely visual reasons), you could still do that with a sequel. Jason has looked noticably different in EVERY F13 movie since the second film. If they want to use Camp Crystal Lake again, they could still do that. Hell, if they wanted to use the same DEATHS as the first film, they could probably still do that (maybe as homages to earlier films). Seriously, the F13 franchise hasn't been about serious filmmaking. It's about pointless campy death scenes strung along for an hour and a half. A good plot or well developed characters are not necessary.

I think that's why we all agree that a remake is confusing... not a lot of thought needs to be put into a successful sequel, so why put the effort into making a remake that will satisfy such a large fanbase?
