Send to email | Leonardo DiCaprio to Star in Atari Movie? [Movies] in AtariNewsNolan BushnellNostalgiaPong | By Owen Good el 07-Jun-2008 | 
OK, OK, kinda misleading headline ? his production company is producing "Atari" a biopic about Nolan Bushnell, Pong's developer and Atari's founder. Paramount bought the rights yesterday. Indications are that he will star, but not knowing the story yet, I don't know if that means he would play Bushnell or, perhaps, another character through whom the story of Bushnell and Atari is presented.
The Hollywood Reporter describes "Atari" as drawing on themes of "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," and "Tucker: The Man and His Dream." I was hoping it'd be a movie adaptation of "Space War" ? just two ships drifting to the center of the screen, shooting each other. Maybe a love interest. Somewhere. Maybe not.
Wherever the story ends up, it sounds like it's getting very serious treatment, and the outlook sounds favorable for a well made biography. Plus I love period pieces, even if I've lived in the period described.

We can safely stop calling Star Wars a movie and recognize it for what it really is: a virulent media infection.
