The film is supposed to be very close to the novel / comic. Hope so because it was amazing. The trailer(s) have been out for months now and has been one of the most viewed on Apples trailer site for some time.
Yes, it is an alternate universe story.

1: No, I don't read a lot of comics, as I've mentioned in at least one other thread here.
2: There haven't been that many movies worth watching this year, so I haven't seen the preview before now and I try to have as little to do with Apple as possible, including going to their website. Besides, as I've repeatedly mentioned, I have dialup internet, so I try to avoid watching previews on the internet because of the download time.
3: Just because you've heard of something doesn't everyone has and it doesn't mean you have to go all in sarcastic mode over someone else not knowing about it. I'm sure there are plenty of things I've heard of that I could do that about when people don't know them but I don't do that.
