When serial murderer Carl Stargher (Vincent D’Onofrio) falls into a coma with his latest victim still trapped in an unknown location and waiting to die, the FBI turn to psychologist Catherine Deane (Jennifer Lopez) for help. Using an experimental technology she enters the dark dreamscape of Stargher’s mind, attempting to learn his secrets before it’s too late. But his unconscious is a twisted nightmare, a labyrinth that threatens to trap her inside his terrifying world forever. To save a life, she’ll have to risk her own.
The absolutely gorgeous Miss Piggys done over the years by Peter Savieri. The first is an actual painting he did for the 2011 movie The Muppets, as seen during the "Pictures in My Head" number. I've had the pleasure of talking to Peter on the ToughPigs forum when I was around 13 or 14, there couldn't be a nicer, more inspiring man on the internet.
