Rapper/actor Machine Gun Kelly is getting positive vibes from Chicago as filming for Rupert Wyatt's sci-fi movie "Captive State" gets underway.

"The room I'm staying (in) for the next month in the Chi is vibed out," Kelly tweeted Tuesday. "And everyone at the grocery store was dressed cool as (expletive)."

"Captive State," which also stars John Goodman and Vera Farmiga, explores conflict in a Chicago neighborhood nearly a decade after occupation by an extra-terrestrial force. Filming is expected to wrap up here in mid-April.

A variety of casting calls have been issued for this movie, which is due out in 2018. Producers are looking for hundreds of extras for a stadium shoot in April, men who are at least 6 feet, 6 inches tall to wear body suits and men and women who ride mopeds or dirt bikes, among other opportunities.
