Director Chosen for MGS Movie?

Anybody catch Equilibrium? I sure did and loved it. Anybody else catch Ultraviolet? I sure did…(those dots speak words about the movie) So I have mixed feelings when rumors have come on the interweb that Kurt Wimmer might be penning and directing the movie. Now, to his more positive credit, he has also penned Sphere and The Thomas Crown Affair so more positive points for him but I cant help but think, why not Kojima son himself? One of the reasons why the MGS series has been so well received is that its as smart and twisted and action packed as any Hollywood film could ever be and the dialogue is smart and packed with many layers of the current state of the world. Plus, the MGS series have equally been known for how cinematic they feel and play. So with that in mind, wouldn’t it just make sense to have the man who made all of this happen be the writer/director and hell, actor? (Stunts and Gaffer work not included)
