Nolan Bushnell To Be Played By Leonardo DiCaprio in Biopic
Basically as the title says. I didn't know this film was in existence in fact - although Leonardo thinks so much of it he is producing it too:
Written by Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman, project is a biopic about entrepreneur Nolan Bushnell, the creator of Atari and one of the founding fathers of the vidgame industry.Although Bushnell's life rights had long been pursued by various suitors, Hecker and Craig Sherman convinced the gaming pioneer that they could do his unique story justice. Bushnell and Ted Dabney founded Atari Inc. in 1972 and were instrumental in bringing arcade games, home vidgame consoles and home computers to the masses. Among the company's contributions was PONG and the Atari 2600.
"vidgame" is a new one to me, but there we go. We'll see how good it is when it is released I guess!
