Leonardo DiCaprio will star in and produce “Atari,” a film about the life of Nolan Bushnell, the father of arcade gaming. According to the Reuters article that details the project, Nolan Bushnell was an engineering student, puzzle-lover, and game enthusiast [that] went from fixing broken pinball machines to launching Atari Corp., a video game manufacturer, in the early ’70s.”

DiCaprio’s Appian Way production company will produce “Atari,” which the creators hope will be reminiscent of such films as “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and “Tucker: The Man and His Dream.”
