Keep a close eye on the props in John Cusack's next film. See if you can tell that the movie, set in Detroit, is really being filmed in Hollywood.

Filmmakers wanted authentic Michigan products for a shot in a convenience store, so they asked Frankenmuth Brewery for some brewski."We've asked for lots of products from various people so we can help create the illusion that (the scene) is in Detroit," said Tim Snowber, who is coordinating sets for the Walt Disney Co. film.

"Grosse Pointe Blank" is a comedy featuring Cusack as a hit man who returns to his native Grosse Pointe for his 10-year high school reunion.
