DiCaprio to play video game legend

Leonardo DiCaprio is to play one of the legends of the video game industry in a new biopic.
The Hollywood Reporter says that DiCaprio will play Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari, in the film 'Atari'.
Bushnell was an engineering student and games lover who went from fixing broken pinball machines to setting up Atari; he later sold the company to Warner Communications for $28m.
The trade daily says that DiCaprio's production company, Appian Way, will produce the film.
