Erm…what?! Not sure whether to laugh or cry…

Leonardo DiCaprio has agreed to star in Atari, a film about video game pioneer Nolan Bushnell, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Writers Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman sold a script to Paramount at the end of last week which detailed how Bushnell went from fixing pinball machines to forming the Atari Corporation in the early ’70s. The company was eventually sold to Warner Communications for $28 million.

Bushnell was also involved in the creation of Pong and set up the Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza Time Theatres restaurant chain.
