Nolan Bushnell is having a film based on his life made. The biopic will simply be called "Atari". Leonardo DiCaprio will play Bushnell in the film. Not much else to say, but the movie will be similar in tone to films such as "Tucker" and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington". It will obviously show Atari's rise to power with Pong, collapse with the Atari sale and E.T. game release for the 2600 and then the ressurrection of Bushnell's successful career with the Chuck E. Cheese franchise.
Like "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters", Atari is another good video game movie... that's not about a particular game. Though King of Kong was a documentary, Atari will be an actual biopic movie, so that means it'll probably be as successful as other biopics like "Private Parts" and "The People Vs. Larry Flynt".

It sounds like it would work
It sounds like it would work out pretty good. I'm looking forward to this biography and the Hugh Hefner biography called "Playboy". Robert Downey Jr. will play the Hef.
