It doesn't have to be exactly the same as the comics, but i will admit if something was put in the movies before the continuity should stay the same. so emma frost who was in wolverine. will be in this movie and this movie takes place before wolverine? what if it takes place right after wolverine? you want to talk continuty how does sabertooth not know wolverine in the first movie in 2000?

Yes, he directed X-Men 1 and 2.

Well with the X-men movies it shows Wolvie covered in blood and he just wanders out of a door
and with the Wolverine movie he's not covered in blood and he chops open a hole in the wall and escapes.
The Incredible Hulk got away with being half sequel & half reboot...but there was less water under the bridge to contradict.
As far as Wolverine's memories in the X-Men films being different from Origins, that's allowable. Logan just had impressions of his past life, things rounded off. He remembered Stryker without knowing really what he did.
What I want to know is can a X-Men movie without any of the core X-Men draw enough people to the Box Office? No Wolverine, no Cyclops, no Jean Grey, No Colossus, No Nightcrawler, no Storm? Does John Q Public care about Havok and Banshee? Is the X-Men a strong enough franchise name that it will draw the people to the theaters regardless of the roster? To me this is like making a JLA movie without Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern and Wonderwoman... and who the hell wants to see that movie.

This movie sounds like a complete mess.
I'm with the consensus here. Very excited at first but the more news that so happens to trickle down the line, the less excited I get.
No cyke, possibly set in the 60's (which dear lord still leaves room to cram Wolverine in it somewhere for whore attention and money).
Like mentioned before, does Singer just hate cyke? I remember on directors commentary for part one or two he mentioned what a great actor Marsden was and how hard it was to just keep him in such a stiff roll (or something to that degree). They never gave the character room to grow and kept him lame. Excusable in the first movie,very unforgiving in the second film, and "wtf???" for the third installment.
Granted Scotts death in The last stand could have carried a plethora of emotional weight behind it if they had even bothered to do anything,ANYTHING, with him in the context of the first two films.
