According to a letter recently distributed to several downtown businesses, Drunken Pig Productions LLC—the film production company currently filming the Jason Segel/Emily Blunt romantic comedy "Five Year Engagement" locally—plans to shoot a scene at Liberty Plaza, on the corner of E. Liberty and S. Division streets, on Friday night, June 10.

The letter states that a special effects crew "will be arriving Thursday, June 9th to apply fake snow to Liberty Plaza and working into the morning. On our day of filming, our hours on site will be from approximately 6 p.m. to 4 a.m., and then a cleanup crew will arrive Saturday morning to pick up the snow and return Liberty Plaza back to normal."

The movie, which has been very visible shooting around the area, has recently done other scenes with fake snow in both downtown Ann Arbor and downtown Ypsilanti. The movie also used the real thing during a brief shoot in March.

Meanwhile, "Engagement" filming took place on U-M's Diag on Tuesday, and local film blogger Bananadoc posted photos of Segel on the set.
