Leonardo DiCaprio will head into the video game industry — and the ’70s — in ‘Atari’.
The actor is to produce and star in the biopic about Nolan Bushnell, the founder of the legendary American games company that created early arcade hits like ‘Pong’.
The engineering student started out repairing broken pinball machines before co-founding Atari Corp. in 1972 on $500. Early employees included Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak but within six years he sold the company for $28-million after inventing ‘Pong’ and the Atari 2600 game console.
