I'm so pissed, I don't have words.

No words. I am down with tongue-in-cheek reimaginings/interpretations of classic stories. (Monkey). Or changing the culture and time period of a classic story (Ulysses 31). Or ditching the classic story and putting your hero in the place of its regular heroes (Xena:WP, but considering that most Greek Heroes are of the male variety, I argue that was totally subversive). But this shit is fucking disgraceful.

Neil Gaiman to write script for a Hollywood version of Journey to the West, with James "Let's make the savage natives Blue and Alien" Cameron. Yes, James "All Irish people are poor, Guinness swilling potatoe eaters who are so fucking happy in their poverty!" Cameron. He who should have stuck to films about blasting aliens and evil robots from the future.

Don't even get me started on Gaiman.

There is mention on having white actors in this movie. Why? I'm sorry - WHY? This movie needs no white actors. I don't want to see one lily-white arsehole in this entire thing. IT'S NOT NECESSARY. We had enough white people in Lord of the Rings, God damn it!
