Kino Lorber have dated and detailed two upcoming Blu-ray releases: John Irvin's action thriller
City of Industry (1997) and George Mendeluk's crime thriller
Stone Cold Dead (1979).
City of Industry
Synopsis: In the twisted maze of a city teeming with corruption, a seasoned "professional" is going to teach a traitorous rookie a simple lesson: There's nothing more lethal than a man with nothing left to lose. Academy Award nominee Harvey Keitel and co-stars Stephen Dorff and Oscar winner Timothy Hutton turn up the heat in this "four-star, edge-of-your-seat crime and revenge story" (Toronto Sun) that strips the mask off L.A.'s shrouded underworld and turns it inside out.
In the "business" of armed robbery, Roy Egan (Keitel) is a master who's ready to retire. However, when his brother Lee (Hutton) proposes one last job - a slam-dunk, three-million-dollar diamond heist with his two friends (Dorff and Wade Dominguez) - Roy can't resist coming out of retirement to cash in on a sure thing. But when one of the "friends" gets greedy and pulls a deadly double-cross, the stage is set for a pulse-pounding game of cat and mouse as Roy relentlessly tracks him down, hell-bent on revenge.
Soundtrack featuring tracks by Massive Attack, Tricky, Lush, Death in Vegas, and Bomb the Bass, amongst others.

Stone Cold Dead
Synopsis: Sergeant Detective Boyd (Richard Crenna, First Blood, Wait Until Dark) has been assigned to a case with no ordinary circumstances. He is taunted by a sniper who selects only prostitutes as victims, and baits police with photographs of the victims at the exact moments of their deaths. Along the faint trail through the city s main streets, everybody is a suspect, from powerful dope dealer and pimp Julius Kurtz (Paul Williams, Phantom of the Paradise), to the attractive Monica Page (Linda Sorensen, Breaking Point), a spirited and classy hooker. Boyd enlists the help of a streetwise policewoman, Sandy McCauley (Belinda J. Montgomery, Blackout), who goes undercover as Boyd and McCauley slowly piece together the few elusive clues and await the sniper lurking in the dark corners of the city.
