kane & Lynch Gets New Director?

Initially, Stunt Coordinator turned Director Simon Crane was attached to direct the upcoming Kane & Lynch based upon the video game by Eidos. The film is slated to start production this August.
Scripted by Kyle Ward, Bruce Willis is attached to play Adam "Kane" Marcus, a mercenary who makes an unlikely alliance with the schizophrenic killer named James Lynch, to be played by Jamie Foxx. The duo is forced to go on a mission to retrieve a stolen microchip. Adrian Askarieh and Daniel Alter are producing.
Well now according to LatinoReview things have changed. The studio and Crane have decided to part ways.
The studio then offered the project to Gary F Gray who passed, but is now currently in talks with Wayne Kramer (Running Scared) to take over as director.
As much as I hate video game adaption's, as they tend to be shit. This actually sounds promising and if anyone can do this right I'd say Kramer is the guy to do it. I loved Running Scared, so hopefully this works out for him to take over.
Bruce Willis is a very busy man right now. He's set to star in not only this, but also potentially The Tomb which was just announced as well as Die Hard 5 which I'm looking forward to the most But will likely have to wait for some time now, with this going into production in a few months, and The Tomb reportedly also being fast tracked by Summit.
