...What's most surprising about U2's comeback is that the band hasn't toned down its idealism to fit today's junk-rock, glam-rap times. In fact, the performers have amped it up. During the North American leg of the Elevation tour, the band showed footage of Charlton Heston defending his views on firearms followed by stark footage of a small child playing with a gun and violent scenes from Vietnam as a sarcastic introduction to the song Bullet the Blue Sky.

Certainly the novel is preoccupied with America, and the frequent rants about America’s failings further blur the distinction between Solanka and Rushdie: “Who let Charlton Heston out of his cage and then wondered why children were getting killed at school?” The novel brims with Rushdie’s acerbic wit, particularly in his portrayal of an ever-more wealthy and jaded America and its accoutrements.

That's what the newly updated version of the 1968 science fiction classic is shaping up to be: a visceral, dynamic action movie that deviates so far from the original that it's almost unrecognizable. It's hard to imagine anyone besides Charlton Heston battling those "damned dirty apes," but Wahlberg fills his shoes well, and in a fitting, but rare touch, Heston appears in an ape cameo. As a US Air Force pilot, Wahlberg crash lands on a foreign planet, only to be captured by highly evolved intelligent apes (led by a costumed...
