Adam Sandler, director Frank Coraci, and producer Tim Herlihy talk about Dolores, Cranberries and “Linger”.
About the flashback scene where “Linger” plays in a bar
Sandler: “This is Herlihy’s favorite tune. He picked it. We all love it though. The Cranberries.”
Herlihy: “It’s a great, great tune. A band from Ireland.”
Sandler: “Great people. They came out here and sang the tune live at the wedding.”
Coraci: “So when I filmed this, all the flashbacks tried to look the period. When I filmed this, I wanted it to look like late 80s, early 90s movies a little bit overlit, movies like that, kind of crisp looking. The other [flashbacks] were 70s and all washed out and golden. But doesn’t this look a little bit like a movie from the 80s that you’d see on HBO. We pushed it a little bit, the look, so that everybody looked more 80s than 90s. It’s really ‘93 or something in the movie, but just to make it fun, we leaned a little back further on the way people dressed.”
About Dolores’s live performance
Sandler: “Dolores came and sang for us, and she sings live. It sounds awesome. People were blown away every time she would sing.”
Coraci: “At first we did pre-records, but then when she got loose, we said, would you mind singing live, so she sang live and that’s what’s in the movie. Her voice is just amazing.”
Sandler: “She looks terrific.”
Coraci: “That Irish thing works for her, eh? What a voice. So beautiful and sexy.”
