Monkeys with Guns

I’m thinking about writing a script about a gang of monkeys who through scientific experiments, take on the intelligence of humans but have a violent streak in them and begin to terrorise the planet. Kind of Gremlins meets Planet of the Apes. What do you think?
Can we start a hype like Snakes!

Actually, saw this pic on sploid.com where I get all my important news and couldnt help it.
