Interesting news for Star Trek fans. And, I suppose, for Tyler Perry fans. Though, on the off chance a visual doesn’t jump to mind when you think of Tyler Perry, you might want to Google “Diary of a Mad Black Woman.”

Anyway, for the Trek fans, UGO has an interesting report from someone who talked to a Star trek insider about Tyler Perry and the Kobayashi Maru.

From UGO:

It looks like Perry is playing the head of Starfleet Academy. Before you go asking if the character is going to be a human being or one of those funky aliens with a dozen more nostrils, it looks like Perry’s character is a plain old fashioned human.

My informant tells me about a big scene that was filmed a couple of weeks back that involved Perry, Chris Pine (the young James T. Kirk), Zachary Quinto (young Spock) and dozens of other extras. Now really, if you’re here then you already decided that you wanted to be spoiled, but here comes the bigger spoilers…

…Tyler’s character is overseeing some kind of Starfleet courtroom/assembly event where young Kirk is facing expulsion from Starfleet. It turns out that the Starfleet prez didn’t look too favorably on Cadet Kirk for “cheating” on one of his critical tests. And all you Trekkies out there know exactly what it is Kirk did: he rigged the Kobayashi Maru test so he could win it.

The report goes into a little more detail without giving away the ending of the scene, so if you wish to be spoiled, click here.
