Titanic Star to Act in Atari Founder Biopic
June 10th, 2008 Posted in Culture
Trade magazine Variety is reporting that Leonardo DiCaprio is set to star as Atari founder Nolan Bushnell in a new feature film that showcases the life of, who is considered to be, the godfather of gaming.
Bushnell founded the company in 1972 along with Ted Dabney. The company was critical in popularizing video games in North America through arcade games, home gaming consoles as well as consumer-oriented personal computers.
The film, simply titled “Atari”, is based on a script written by Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman, both independent writers with little Hollywood experience. It is being produced by DiCaprio’s own production company Appian Way.
