Reinventing Oneself

Kevin Spacey is set to star in the indie comedy "Father of Invention" reports Variety.

He is a humble inventor-turned-egomaniacal billionaire who loses it all when one of his inventions goes horribly awry. After eight years in federal prison, he returns bankrupt, homeless and determined to rebuild his reputation and fortune.

Trent Cooper (Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector) will direct from a script he penned with Jonathan Krane and Nichole Beattie. Spacey will co-produce.

Spacey is king when playing offbeat characters--American Beauty The Usual Suspects and Swimming with Sharks spring to mind...

The pic does not have a production start date yet.
