Life is stranger than fiction for Leonardo DiCaprio. It is a familiar trend for Leo, he played Howard Hughes in The Aviator, Frank Abagnale in Catch Me If You Can, and Tobias Wolff in This Boy’s Life. And Leo’s also attached to films in development about Wall Street felon Jordan Belfort and James Bond creator Ian Fleming. Well, portraying real people on screen has continued, as the Oscar-nominated actor-producer has pressed the play button. Leo just become attached to star in “Atari,” a pitch that writers Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman sold to Paramount on Friday about the godfather of the video game industry, Nolan Bushnell.

Nolan Bushnell is one of my heroes. He single handedly created a massive cultural change in video gaming, but also did this for robotics, mobile navigation, and personal computing. It's one thing to be a massive influence in just one area, but to have been involved in all of those is absolutely stellar. He makes Steve Jobs look like a piker.
