"Roger Ebert is recovering at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago after surgery to repair a minor hip injury. He tripped and fell at the Pritikin Center in Florida, where he had gone to continue physical therapy in preparation for his film festival.
"The show must go on!" Ebert says. "I am doing fine and if the doctors clear me, I will be there to welcome our guests, including Ang Lee, Paul Schrader, Richard Roeper, Richard Corliss, Sally Potter, Christine Lahti, Rufus Sewell, Timothy Spall, Michael Barker and many others. But whether or not I am there, the audience will see some amazing films."
The Roger Ebert Film Festival (Ebertfest) is sponsored by the the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign April 23-27."abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/local&id=6089395Maybe this is connected to the re-release of Dark City? I seem to recall Mr Ebert was very enthusiastic about that. Now, who here lives thataway?? ;D ADDED: he's not shown as a "festival guest": www.ebertfest.com/

I'm only one state over. *excited to be SO CLOSE*
Yes, Roger Ebert is a big fan of Dark City, maybe that's where the connection is from.
