According to UGO and TrekMovie.com, actor/director Tyler Perry (Diary of a Mad Black Woman) will appear in the new Star Trek movie as the head of Starfleet Academy and he has already shot his scenes. Beware of Spoilers.
According to UGO, their sources reveals "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." Here are excerpts from their article.
"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. We know exactly what it is Kirk did: he rigged the Kobayashi Maru test so he could win it.
"So young Kirk is standing in front of his peers (human and alien Starfleet cadets and officers) and facing immediate expulsion from the Academy. After hearing the charge from Perry's character, Chris Pine-as-Kirk delivers a speech in the same vein as some of the classic Kirk speeches from the TV series. He wants to know how his cheating was found out, and it's revealed that there was a witness to Kirk's act. Kirk immediately demands to know who the witness was so he can face his accuser."
"And that's when Zachary Quinto-as-Spock stands up. Yup, he's the one that ratted on Kirk reprogramming the Kobayashi Maru test and he's the reason why Kirk is about to be expelled from Starfleet." UGO stop their spoilers right there, and promise more for the future.
The original report can be found here.
According to TrekMovie.com, who also confirmed Perry appearance and the courtroom/assembly scene, this scene was shot in the Long Beach City Council chamber (story)(see photo) and that there is also some kind of student protest over Kirk not being expelled and actually being ‘promoted.' The protest might be part of the same scene described at UGO or a different scene shot at the location.
