While prepping his feature directorial debut, Jake Paltrow wasn't keen on sibling synergy — but his sister was. ''I was like, 'Can I be in it?''' Gwyneth recalled at Sundance, where the film premiered. ''He kept resisting.'' Eventually, she landed a role as the dowdy girlfriend of an ex-pop star (Martin Freeman) so bored he prefers to live in his dreams. ''He becomes obsessed with being fulfilled in his sleep,'' says Jake, ''and figures out a way to dedicate himself to that pursuit all the time.'' The allure of dreamland? Plain and simple: the stunning Penélope Cruz.
