Ashe Morris writes: What’s up Collider crew! Love all the work you do. Just one question, are we ever going to get a Tron 2? Or do you think Disney has given up on it now that they have their moneymaker Star Wars (which I love)?

Daniel Dwyer writes: Hey Collider Gang!! I have been watching your show for a few years now and it's a pleasure watching the show every single day from Australia! My question is: What do you think is the possibility of a Doctor Who movie? The series is not only the longest running Science Fiction series of all time but it holds the recent record of most viewed global simulcast event of all time.
