A major movie about the invasive presence of technology will soon be set in a very predictable place: San Francisco.

The film, called "Lexi," revolves around a man played by Adam Devine ("Workaholics," "Pitch Perfect") who, according to Variety, "falls in love with an A.I. who appears throughout his smart devices."

Not many other details have been disclosed about the production thus far, but on Wednesday, Deadline reported that Alexandra Shipp ("X-Men," "Love, Simon") would also star as Devine's character's (other) love interest, Cate. Jon Lucas and Scott Moore ("The Hangover," "Bad Moms") wrote the film and will direct.

Residents of Potrero Hill were notified this week that a CBS Films production would be shooting night scenes on January 25 and 26 next year.

Last month, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that "Lexi" was one of a handful of productions shooting in the San Francisco area that landed a spot in California's tax credit program for 2019. It will begin shooting in the city in January 2019, according to the San Francisco Film Commission.
