Note From the Editor: San Diego Comic-Con 2011
The San Diego Comic-Con is upon us, and it’s quickly taking over the Web.
Bloody Disgusting will be on hand ripping up the event from July 21-24, keeping you up to the minute with new art, interviews and breaking stories. We were one of the first to do it, and we’re also going to be the last…
We understand that a lot of you aren’t going to be going – as it does take place in San Diego – so much like last year we won’t be punching you in the nose and assaulting you with 400 stories about each announced panel. Instead we’ll be breaking the BIG reveals (like movie premieres), along with FULL breakdowns of what will be happening each and every night once the Comic-Con gets everything lined up.
Watch this spot for pure insanity July 21-24.

‘Medium Rare’ – Curry Barker’s Dad Jeff Barker Directing His Own Horror Short Starring Dane Cook
Curry Barker’s career is exploding with possibility in the wake of Obsession‘s box office success, but Curry Barker isn’t the only one in the Barker family making horror movies.
The Hollywood Reporter informs us this afternoon that Curry Barker’s father Jeff Barker is going to be writing and directing a horror short starring comedian Dane Cook!
The short is titled Medium Rare, and Lesley Ann Warren will also star.
THR details, “The film follows a man trapped inside a bar, where reality begins to unravel in increasingly disturbing ways. Production is expected to begin in Los Angeles later this summer.”
“Medium Rare is a short story I wrote eight years ago. I’m honored by the team of people helping me bring this project to life,” Jeff Barker said in a statement shared by the outlet.
Jeff Barker is a screenwriter in his own right, credited as the script consultant for Obsession. He even wrote the Hansel & Gretel monologue memorably delivered by Inde Navarrette.
