Nolan Bushnell (pictured above) himself spoke his thoughts about him being played by Leo Dicaprio in the “Atari” movie. Bushnell says he’s thrilled and excited that Dicaprio is playing him. Leo Dicaprio is an iconic film star that has starred in movies such as James Cameron’s “Titanic”, “The Beach”, “Gangs In New York”, “Blood Diamond”, “The Departed” and more.

Bushnell also says there were many books written about the Atari videogame system but Bushnell says he knows about Atari games more than they do. He says that the screenwriters for the “Atari” film will get the facts right about the videogames.

Leo himself must an Atari videogamer if he was willing to sign to this role. Leo is a perfect choice for this role, since he does kind of look like Bushnell.
