Is Metal Gear Solid 4 producer Ryan Payton directing Peter Jackson's Halo project? "Yes," comes the reply from Shacknews, corroborating (thanks, "reliable source!") a Kotaku rumor that places Payton in the "creative director" role on the forthcoming and exceedingly nebulous Halo project from Microsoft and the Lord of the Rings director, Peter Jackson.
If true, it would mark the second major franchise to be touched by Payton, who left Kojima Productions earlier this year. We've reached out to him for comment -- and for the privilege of touching someone who's a tag on our website.

A shot of Master Chief injecting himself in the neck with nanomachines would be amazing.
But hey, Ryan Payton may just be one of the best spin-doctors in videogaming today.

I really do not think so...He left KP to get closer to his family and spend more time.
I do not think he is going to jump on board all of the sudden. Unless you can connect the travel distance between Bungie and Ryan Payton's house.

Actually according to 1UP Ryan's family lives in the Seattle area so this would make sense since Wingnut Interactive and Bungie are both right there.

The chief and snake living together??...
Ooo...Here is the premise...Snake is retired and is naturally is old and cranky...He reads Playboy all day and has a unhealthy obsession for cardboard boxes.
Master Chief is drunken Frat boy who has a tendency to turn ultra violent and bouts of kneeling down and sticking his crotch on Snakes face when he sleeps.
