I would like to present them as a "Young Templar Series" (like Young Bond by Charlie Higson) but I'm sure who has the Saint rights cannot give me the permission... So maybe I will present them with another title. I'll see.

This thing with casting the Saint seems to be overlooking something. As
William Vivian Butler first pointed out there are a number of Saint
characters, if you're looking for the world weary, slightly cynical man
of the world then Hugh Grant might get a look in. But if you're looking
for a young adventurer--as I suspect any TV producer would be--then Hugh
Grant is simply too old. As am I, sadly.

As for books, well, I couldn't possibly comment.
