No, Robert Pattinson's 'Remember Me' is not from that book, nor that one

It's getting a lot of publicity these days, but just in case you were wondering--no, popular actor/musician Robert Pattinson's new film, Remember Me, is not adapted from a book you may know with the same title--any book.
Not Mary Higgins Clark's bestseller, Remember Me set on Cape Cod. Not the novel Remember Me written by Sharon Sala and published by Harlequin that is about a disappearing wife who reappears without remembering where she's been. Neither is it adapted from Christopher Pike's young adult novel, Remember Me the tagline for which is "She didn't understand that she was dead."
It's not based on Remember Me? (note question mark) by Sophie Kinsella, about a 28-year-old woman (coincidentally the age of Robert Pattinson's leading lady, Emilie de Ravin) who wakes up in a London hospital with perfect teeth, a toned body, and a Louis Vuitton bag--all of which she didn't have before. And it's not based on the Christian novel by Deborah Bedford, Remember Me, published by Faith Words.
No, Remember Me is the new title given to a rewrite of an original script called Memoirs by Will Fetters. Jenny Lumet (Rachel Getting Married) has worked on the rewrite.
(By the way--no, Memoirs was not based on Tennesse Williams's reminiscences with the same title.)
Though Robert Pattinson is known already for appearing in so many movie roles based on characters from popular and classic books--Twilight and The Twilight Saga: New Moon based on the book series by Stephenie Meyer; Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix from the novels by J. K. Rowling; The Haunted Airman based on the novel, The Haunting of Toby Jugg by Dennis Wheatley; Vanity Fair (Pattinson appears in the DVD) from the classic by William Makepeace Thackeray; and future projects such as Bel-Ami based on the novel by Guy de Maupassant--this time he is filming a work based on an original script, not an adaptation.
