Roger Ebert's long-running film review show is making a comeback with a return to its birthplace, WTTW Chicago public television. "This is the rebirth of a dream," says Ebert, who will appear on every episode using his computer voice. His ability to speak was lost after a battle with cancer. Co-produced by Ebert and his wife Chaz, "Roger Ebert Presents At the Movies" will air weekly beginning in January 2011 on PBS. The half-hour show will be co-hosted by Associated Press film critic Christy Lemire and Elvis Mitchell of National Public Radio, and include the copyrighted "Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down" format made famous by Ebert with the late Gene Siskel.
