* Daredevil producer Gary Foster sent out a short note to fans through Fox on Wednesday.
Here's an excerpt:
"It’s complete! Last Wednesday, we finished the final work on Daredevil. After 6 years on a quest to bring this movie to the big screen, we delivered 20th Century Fox the movie.
"This past weekend, we had our first showings of the film to the real world. Press from all over the United States and abroad came to Pasadena for our two-day junket. On Friday and Saturday nights, we screened Daredevil to packed houses, and for us it was the first time we experienced a real audience’s reaction. It was gratifying to hear the cheers and laughs. The best news of all was that the positive buzz about the film was genuine and huge. You can’t imagine how good that makes us feel. "

"X2 is part of a saga," director Bryan Singer said. "Each movie is not meant to be a complete whole; it's meant to be an episode essentially. And there's something wonderful about that."
