I think it will be a mix, as how all hollywood comic movies turn out to be, but I have a feeling that there will be more comic related elements in this movie. David Benioff is the writer of the movie and this is what he told to Wizard Magazine.

"I’ve been reading Wolverine comics for 23 years,” admitted the writer. And while he couldn’t discuss specific elements of his script, Benioff did hint at his favorite Wolvie stories. “I went back and reread the Chris Claremont and Frank Miller miniseries, and the Barry Windsor-Smith Weapon X."

"BTW dollars to donuts bet that the movie sucks horribly. Aside from the strong likelihood that its yet another Marvel cash in, apparently its also got no writers actively working on it because of the strike and two directors turned it down already. Not good signs.

I heard the script was done already and filming starts soon.

"Don't mean to change the topic too much, but I don't like making new threads and this kinda fits. For some reason I was looking at Wolverine's page on Wikipedia and I saw his two "intended origins". It's the second one that I'm actually posting about."Byrne said (as stated in interviews and on his website) that he drew a possible face for Wolverine - but then learned that John Romita Sr. had already drawn one for him (Wolverine's face, drawn by Cockrum, can be seen in Uncanny X-Men #98, long before Byrne started). Later, Byrne used the drawing for Sabretooth's face (an enemy of Iron Fist, who Claremont was also currently writing). Byrne then came up with the idea of Sabretooth being Wolverine's father (they both had similar healing abilities and raging tempers). Together, Byrne and Claremont came up with Wolverine being around 60 and having served in World War II after escaping from Sabretooth (who was around 120 years old and had been abusing him for decades - explaining his rages). The plan had been for Wolverine to have been almost crushed in an accident; at which point he would discover (when attempting to stand for the first time after recovering) that his healing factor does not work on bones - his legs immediately break. He then spends over a decade in a hospital bed, almost going mad (another reason for his berserker rages) when the Canadian Government approaches him with the idea of replacing his skeleton one bone at a time with solid Adamantium - the claws being an extra surprise. This origin too was never used."
A few questions: There was no citation there so I was wondering, is it true? What do you think of that origin? Should his intended origins be on his page? To make it more thread appropriate, think they could use it in the movie?
I like that origin. People expect some sort of connection between Wolverine and Sabretooth and that one delivers. I also like the bone thing, the surprise claws and the reason for Wolverine's rages. I think the intended origins (if both were really going to be used at one point) should be on the page. Don't feel like doing it though.

Yeah I think that's a pretty cool origin, not sure if it's true though. Does anyone know if Wolverine really can't regrow his bones? I'll see if I can find something from issues after Fatal Attractions.
