We just got word that a whole slew of actors, writers, producers and directors involved with the 19th annual Philadelphia Film Festival (Oct. 14-24) will be in attendance for this week's fest. Hottest ticket, of course, is M. Night Shyamalan, who'll be on hand for the 10th-anniversary screening of Unbreakable. But there are a ton of other variously famous folks — Amy Sedaris and John Hodgman (The Best and the Brightest) among them — on the list, so prepare yourself for a few Philly celebrity sightings/seat partners.
