I personally think it happened already with Speed Racer, but that is a stretch with being an adaptation of an adaptation.
But yeah, it's always possible, just not so much when Hollywood panders to the lowest common denominator. They don't have to stay line by line to the original series. Hollywood's success with comic-book movies prove that. The main problem tends to come with dumbing down the material and trying to pander to that Hollywood thinks should be the target audience (like DBE).
Of course, anime fans are a small audience, so if Hollywood is going to adapt an anime or manga, it's not for us. Despite that, the attempt should be made to make works that they will like as well as the mainstream, and we fans have to remember not to rage over some changes. I had to get used to organic webshooters, so I can get used to Keanu Reeves as long as he doesn't suck, a call I won't make without seeing a trailer.
