The newly titled British Association for Screen Entertainment has renamed in a move to reflect digital shifts.
The British Video Association (Bva) has rebranded to the British Association for Screen Entertainment (Base) in a bid to cater to a wider breadth of the country’s audio-visual industry.
While physical media still plays a vital role in the business, comprising 48% of the home entertainment market according to Base, digital rental and sales continues to grow at a significant rate, rising 30.3% in the last year.
Base aims to reflect that change, positioning the organisation in a way that gives it wider significance to the $3.28bn (£2.224bn) home entertainment industry.
As part of its new effort to cater to the digital market, Base has aligned itself with the Industry Trust to work further to tackle copyright infringement by promoting IP awareness.

Daniel Espinosa, who made some waves with the success of February’s action-thriller Safe House starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, might have found his next project. Deadline reports the Swedish director (yes, he’s Swedish) is in early talks with Liongsate/Summit to helm Child 44, an adaptation of Tom Rob Smith’s novel.
Child 44 very much follows in line with the growing trend of foreign-set crime thrillers being made into films. Based on the true crimes of the serial killer known as the Rostov Ripper, the story centers on a “disgraced lawman” in Soviet Russia under Stalin who’s assigned to a series of child murders. Sound a bit like The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? I agree. Did I mention this is the first of a trilogy?
The project was initially set up at 20th Century Fox with Ridley Scott attached to produce and direct a script from...

From the time Whiteout starts ’til the credits role an hour and a half later, you are reminded of three things: Antarctica is cold. It snows a lot in Antarctica. Antarctica is beautiful and deadly because of the cold and snow in Antarctica. From beautiful snowy landscape to deadly swirling snowy landscape, these three things will stay with you the whole movie. They will wow you. They will mesmerize you. They will make you shiver. You will leave the theater knowing that Antarctica is cold, snowy, beautiful and dangerous. And really, apart from a crime show type plot, there’s just not much more to this movie.
Kate Beckinsale (Underworld) plays U.S. Marshall Carrie Stetko, who chose to come to “the coldest, most isolated land mass on the planet” for reasons that become clearer as the story progresses. Just as she’s ready to leave the cold, snowy, beautiful,...
