Interesting... I look forward to hearing what's in the works. An OPPO partnership of some sort (either reselling or aa BDP-83 with Outlaw sheet metal) was my first thought, too, but that's ruled out based on Peter's second post. It was probably wishful thinking on my part, anyway.

As for the rest of the ideas listed - the "movies" clue seems important. That would seem to rule out two- or three-channel amps and floorstanding speakers, since those would work as well (or even better) for music. A 970 successor is more appropriate, but still doesn't seem to specifically fit with movies.
