It's not unheard of for a book to bear a later copyright than the (start of the) film adaptation. To Live And Die In LA actually began filming before the book hit the stores, because William Friedkin optioned the book when he read it in pre-release manuscript form.
"My family is my society, God is my punisher, but oh what a Wicked World it is that drives a man to sin." - Mario Puzo
