He's attached to star in a gaming biopic.
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO is attached to star in 'Atari,' a pitch acquired by Paramount Pictures on Friday, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The proposed biopic, devised by writers BRIAN HECKER and CRAIG SHERMAN, would find Leo in the skin of NOLAN BUSHNELL, father of the Atari videogame system.
But before he takes the next step toward tackling the "Asteroids" and "Centipedes" of gaming history, Leo hits the big screen this October in 'House of Lies': a war-time drama co-starring RUSSELL CROWE and directed by RIDLEY SCOTT ('American Gangster').
