'Don't Wake Me Up': M. Night Shyamalan Reveling In Success Of Philly Sports Teams

If Shyamalan continues to spend some more time courtside at the Wells Fargo Center, perhaps the city soon we'll be celebrating another championship. And much like Shyamalan's films, that would be quite a spectacular ending.
