Virginia Madsen has been hurting for some decent roles after Sideways proved to us all what a good actress she can be given good material. And bless Kevin Spacey for being the guy to pull her up back up to the big leagues; Madsen will star alongside Spacey in Father of Invention, an indie comedy starring Spacey as an egomaniacal billionaire who gets out of prison to find that his former life has fallen apart.

Variety writes that Madsen will play Spacey's ex-wife, who spends all his money while he's in jail and winds up remarried, hilariously, to The Office's Craig Robinson. I have no idea how anyone can keep up with Craig Robinson comedically, but I wish Madsen all the best in giving it a shot anyway. Father of Invention is dreicted by Trent Cooper, and has already started filming.
