TrekCore has confirmed today that Paramount Home Media will be issuing a new Steelbook release of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan on Blu-ray, coming exclusively to Best Buy in May.
Outside of the United States, this will be available through Canada’s Future Shop Best Buy Canada, which already has this new release up for preorder at $16.99 CAD. We don’t currently know of any plans for availability outside of North America. Additionally, as of right now, this is the only Trek movie planned for Steelbook release — though of course if that changes we’ll let everyone know.
While this new set will feature the first-ever Steelbook packaging for a classic Trek film, this is expected to be yet another reissue of the 2009 Blu-ray release already available in standalone form and as part of the ‘Stardate’ Trek film collection.
We don’t have a specific availability date for either Best Buy or Future Shop (or price point for Best Buy’s release) at this time, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled for more information as we we get closer to the May debut.
