A major motion picture called "Lexi" starring Adam Devine ("Workaholics," "Pitch Perfect") is reportedly seeking a mass of music-loving fans to appear as extras in a concert scene featuring a performance by rapper and singer Kid Cudi.

The film, which also stars Alexandra Shipp ("X-Men," "Love, Simon") and Michael Peña ("Narcos: Mexico," "Ant-Man") centers around a man (Devine) who, according to the Hollywood Reporter, "loves his smartphone more than anything else in his life." Shipp portrays his romantic interest, Cate.

On Wednesday, Allied in San Francisco, which is handling PR for the film locally, posted an Instagram (calling the film "The Phone") asking interested parties in their 20s and 30s to sign up for casting profiles to be considered by the affiliated casting agency as extras.

The scene is currently due to film on Jan. 22, though the San Francisco Film Commission tells SFGATE they have not yet finalized permitting for the shooting.

While it's not explicitly clear if the rapper will be onsite for the scene, the gig is a paid one, offering $15 an hour and meals while onsite.

"Lexi" was written and will be directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore ("The Hangover," "Bad Moms"). It will be filming in San Francisco until mid-February.
