2024 marks the 40th anniversary of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and to commemorate the film’s milestone Paramount Home Entertainment is treating the recent 4K remaster to a lavish new Steelbook this spring.
 
While not yet formally announced by the studio, several retailers have opened preorders and presented imagery of the upcoming release.
 

Coming on May 28, the Star Trek III Steelbook will feature the 2021 remastered edition of the film on both 4K and Blu-ray disc, with outer artwork based upon the ‘Crystal Spock’ teaser poster and using the original title treatment styling. A transparent slipcover (with title treatment, Enterprise, and Klingon Bird of Prey) protects the Steelbook artwork.

The interior highlights the Enterprise arriving at Spacedock in the early moments of the film, and the back cover features the Enterprise crew watching their starship burn up above the Genesis Planet.

Walmart is also offering a special version of the Star Trek III Steelbook, an exclusive edition that comes with a Star Trek III mini theatrical key art poster and a booklet featuring the teaser poster.

Preorders are open for this Steelbook now at Walmart and at Barnes & Noble; the Amazon product page can be found here (with preorders not yet available as of this writing).

Aside from the three Kelvin Timeline films, the only other standalone Star Trek film Steelbook release came in 2015 when The Wrath of Khan got a Best Buy exclusive in the United States. The Search for Spock last received the Steelbook treatment back in 2016, when the ten Original Series and Next Generation films each got a Star Trek 50th Anniversary Blu-ray release.

We’ll update this article with more detail as it becomes available. For those of you who are physical media collectors, do you plan to pick up this Star Trek III Steelbook in May? Let us know in the comments below!
