From worstpreviews, Eyeing its next movie franchise, Luc Besson's EuropaCorp has a deal for the bigscreen adaptation rights to Jacques Tardi's classic comicbook series "Aventures Extraordinaires d'Adele Blanc-Sec."

Published since 1976, with nine novels to date, "Aventures" is set between 1911 and 1922 in a Paris traumatized by World War I. Their heroine, Adele Blanc-Sec, a fetching popular novelist pursued by dumb cops, monsters, rancorous villains and wannabe lovers, is sometimes taken as an early feminist figure in French comic books.

EuropaCorp plans a three-movie bigscreen transition, the first being scheduled for delivery in 2009.
