When the movie '' Vid Kidz Production'' is coming ??  

read nolan bushnell's story in a great book "the ultimate history of video games".

i wonder who will play the young steve jobs and woz? they were junior developers at atari.

I don't think that Steve Jobs and Wozniack did too much at Atari as they left pretty early on to form Apple computer.  I was lucky enough to travel to San Jose one year via a computer related conference and briefly meet Nolan and hear his speech on some future topic (I forget what exactly).  He is an interesting character.  I am not sure that the movie will be too successful though and the usual DiCaprio fans won't go watch it because of him.  The usual Video game fan (even freaks like myself or HAL-9000) probably won't rush to go watch it either as the Atari story has been over read everywhere and all.  Nintendo history or even just Tetris history is sometimes way more interesting.

PS, we all know E.T. was a flop for Atari 2600 and that they buried hundred of thousands of cartridges in New Mexico land fill.  We know that Bushnell probably made more money and success from Chucky Cheese and not Atari.

This thread makes me think of two other movies.

Once Upon Atari - a documentary about the early days of Atari.  I have never seen this but it sounds interesting.

Pirates Of Silcon Valley - A movie about the 80's rise of home computers and the story behind Microsot and Apple.  I caught this on TV awhile back.  It basically shows Steve Jobs as an overbearing maniac at Apple (and his subsequent dismissal because of this) and Bill Gates as the shifty businessman who double crossed Apple with Windows.
