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.

I'll second what he said, especially the bolded part
Seriously though... if you can find the graphic novel or reprints anywhere, snag 'em. This truly was... no... IS one of the best ever comic stories.
