Tyler Perry (Madea) in Trek XI

[Plum]

And Eddie Murphy first gained fame by doing Richard Pryor in his stand-up, while Richard used to do Bill Cosby.

So what eh?

Tyler Perry is a man that likes to put his name in front of everything he directs/produces/acts in/watches/hears about/etc. Watch this clip from The Soup ROFL

Spoiler: Tyler Perry in Star Trek XI

He'll probably try to change the name of the movie to Tyler Perry Presents Star Trek XI. Or he'll change the name of the Academy to Tyler Perry's Starfleet Academy.

At any rate, here's hoping the character's last name is Sisko.

Or Cartwright.

I think putting his name on his movies is a marketing thing. Just like Bram Stoker's Dracula, William Shakespeare's whatever or Stephen King's whatever.

I don't see a problem with it. I also think that Perry can handle a cameo in this film. I saw his last one, Why Did I Get Married? He wasn't the Madea character in that one. He played a straight up regular guy, a doctor. Even in some of the Madea movies, he plays a regular guy in addition to playing Madea and her brother Joe.

Maybe someone can photoshop him as Madea in a TOS uniform.

Apparently the guy who plays Jamsheed al-Jamsheedi on Mideast Minute has been cast, too. I don't think it's a big role, though.

Well, we have no idea what a "Pike-era" Admiral's uniform might look like... except that it LIKELY includes headgear.

What I don't want out of this...
Seeking to run from his past, Tyler's character has a sex-change operation to become....Uhura.

 

[Bad Atom]

He should play Uhura's mother.
