What is it with Leonardo DiCaprio and biopics? Obsession? Addiction? Or both? After about a dozen of fictionalized biographies, the $20 million a movie star has signed for another one. This time he will play Nolan Bushnell, who invented the Atari video game system in the seventies. As a pioneer, he later sold the company to Warner Communications for $28 million.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way will produce the picture for Paramount, who bought the script just yesterday. DiCaprio is also still attached to a biopic about James Bond creator Ian Fleming and Wall Street mogul Jordan Belfort.
