Paddy writes in to say that a trailer for the movie recently shown on Australian TV predominantly features “Linger,” and the song has a role in the movie’s plot. You can watch that international trailer here.

Meanwhile, Jacqueline Lovell, a background actress who stood in for Dolores for some parts of the wedding scene, wrote up a report from the set, which was filmed sometime last fall:

 

Two days later I was out shopping when I got a rush call from Central Casting. They wanted me back down at the Sony Studios in two hours for Adam Sandler’s new movie ?€?Click?€? to replace a stand-in. I was told I would be standing in for Katie Cassidy, but as the night wore on and I still hadn’t been used after being there 8 hours I figured out why her original stand in had taken the night off. The five-page scene they were shooting was originally scheduled to be shot over three days and this was now day four and the call sheet said they wouldn’t finish it until day five. With shooting averaging a page a day and Katie being only in the last page of the scene, her original stand in must have been bored to tears. Along with the fact Adam prefers night shoots, the nights were getting longer and longer. I was finally used to stand in for Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries who was in the wedding reception scene singing her hit song ‘Linger’. The set was magical and standing in center stage, so to speak, was cool. When Dolores arrived to set she said ‘Hey sweetie’ to me as I stepped down and she took her place. We finally rapped up around 3:30am.

There’s no word yet on a soundtrack, but it’s very likely that “Linger” will be on it.

If anyone has more on Dolores’s participation in the movie, send it in! In the meantime, if you’d like to discuss this news (or drop some bad “wedding singer” puns), visit the The Cranberries’ forum.
