Any more ideas than these for films adapted within two years of the source material's publication?
The years I'll follow are the I.M.D.B. for the film and Wikipedia for the source. The source can be a novel, short story, play or even television programme &c. However, it should not have been in any way created in connection with the film (e.g. as a novelisation of the script) nor sufficiently anticipated that the film rights were snapped up straight away or in advance (e.g. a famous person's autobiography). |

Thanks for the suggestions. Twilight is just one year out, unfortunately, as are all of its sequels except the second half of the last one plus the first half of the last Harry Potter.
Leaving aside the issue that it all becomes a bit circular once a film series starts, do any Bond stories qualify? |

Police Academy 
Hannibal (book 1999, film 2001) and Hannibal Rising (book 2006, film 2007)? |

| As the pool of films seems to be extremely small, I think I'll relax my opening-post rules and include those, and also any applicable Bond films &c. I'd still like the source to have been written and then adapted, though, so please let me know if anyone knows the screenplays to have been begun before publication (as certainly seems possible). |
