Blake and Mortimer: Movie Franchie

If Hollywood were to make a film series of Blake and Mortimer by Edgar P. Jacobs, how would they do it? I envision this as a trilogy, composed of the following adaptations in the following order. The Secret of the Swardfish, the Yellow M and the Time Trap. This would use the same style as the comics, but in live-action. Think something like the Kingsmen, mixed with the Kenneth Brahnna Poirot movies.
