A good Chinese-Hollywood movie

Last couple of days I have been watching Monkey King cartoon with my 4 1/2 year old son and he is totally into it. Although his Mandarin is still very rough but after I explain/translate for him, he is able to follow the story.

Then it came to my mind that this would make a good Hollywood CG movie. Probably a good 3 part series since the original novel is as thick as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I haven't seen King Kong's preview or trailer but with today's computer animation capabilities, I think Monkey King can be an awesome flick. Not just for the Chinese audience but the world as a whole.

What's everyone's opinion on this?

To be honest, I find out that the story and philosophy in 西游记 is very hard for a "westerner" to understand. I don't think the very commercialized Hollywood will it into films. I can't imagine how awful the film would be If they did it.

I love Monkey King especially his rebellious stories. I also like 猪八戒. However, even myself find it's hard to accept the idea and philosophy behind the stories.
