Like something out of Bizzaro World, word on the street is that hunky dreamboat
Leonardo DiCaprio will play Atari uber-nerd
Nolan Bushnell in an upcoming biopic. According to reports, the film will detail Bushnell's life from his early work at amusement parks, through founding Atari and eventually building the Chuck E. Cheese's empire in a '
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington' meets 'Tucker' fashion.
We understand there will be a thrilling montage where Bushnell soundly defeats every Atari staff member at Pong, then builds the first animatronic Jasper T. Jowls with spare parts from a 1976 Impala. [Source:

nothing wrong with Leo, who is such a hunk to play cyber nerds but there is a big problem making him look as ugly as the atari nerd...that wouldnt be something i would wanna see.. as long as they keep Leo hot I am all for it!
Sadly, Pong was never my game so I would have been fired by the nerd and kicked him in the gonads....
