Leonardo DiCaprio to star in “Atari”

Leonardo DiCaprio to star in “Atari”

Yup, this movie is exactly about what the title would indicate.

Leonardo DiCaprio has been cast in Atari as Nolan Bushnell, the creator of the of the Atari gaming system back in the days when I was young and my parents wouldn’t get me one.

It’s being written by Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman who hope the film will play with elements from “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” and “Tucker.”

Happy Birthday, Atari 2600

It's the 30th birthday of the Atari 2600. Man do I feel old now. How much fun was playing Adventure? Or Combat? Flying the dual bi-planes and shooting down your buddy. Asteroids? All these game systems now owe it all to Atari. Seriously...30 years ago. Yikes.
