From the AP:
Roger Ebert hopes to make it to his annual namesake film festival next week despite hip surgery. The 65-year-old film critic was recovering Friday at a Chicago hospital from minor hip surgery after a recent fall.
“The show must go on,” Ebert said in a statement posted on his Web site. “I am doing fine and if the doctors clear me, I will be there to welcome our guests.”
Scheduled guests at the 10th annual Roger Ebert Film Festival include Ang Lee, Richard Roeper, Richard Corliss and Christine Lahti.
The 2008 “Ebertfest” — sponsored by the critic’s alma mater, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign — will be held April 23-27.
