Adam Scott returns to Cleveland for 'Little Evil'

Adam Scott returns to Cleveland to shoot 'Little Evil' with Evangeline Lilly for Netflix

Adam Scott, best known for his role as Ben Wyatt on Parks & Rec, is back in Northeast Ohio shooting the new Netflix horror-comedy Little Evil.

Scott spent time in the Buckeye State last summer shooting My Blind Brother with Jenny Slate and Nick Kroll. Locations for Brother included Lakewood and Westlake.

Evangeline Lilly co-stars. You’ll know Lilly from her role as Hope Van Dyne in Ant-Man and the upcoming Ant-Man and The Wasp, as well as Kate on Lost. Eli Craig directs from a script he wrote. Craig made the cult classic Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

The film will shoot in part at Greenwood Farm in Richmond Heights. The historic farm served as a location for the horror film The Bye Bye Man as well.

Little Evil is about a man who marries a woman only to discover that her 6-year-old son may be the Antichrist.

The film also stars Ohio-native Clancy Brown.

Little Evil will debut on Netflix sometime in 2017.

A chat with Erik Kripke, creator of 'Supernatural' and 'The Boys'

Erik Kripke on the set of 'The Boys' Those that know Eric Kripke from when he was a boy growing up in the Toledo, Ohio, suburb of Sylvania often tell him they didn’t know that he was “secretly disturbed.” And even the filmmaker admits that his happy, idyllic life seems out of place for the guy that created the horror sensation, Supernatural . “I guess the only thing weird may have been how normal everything was,” Kripke says. Kripke’s Supernatural, which ran for 15 seasons on The CW, tells the tale of two monster-hunting brothers – Sam and Dean Winchester, played by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles respectively. Think of it as a sort of Route 66 with chainsaws, muscle cars and a boatload of demons. It's a bit of a 180 for a guy who started his career as a comedy writer. Dangerously obsessed Kripke says that since he was 8 or 9 years old, his focus was on becoming a filmmaker. “I never really wanted to do anything else. You could say I was ‘dange...

Everything we know about ‘Eenie Meanie’ on set in Cleveand, Toledo and Sandusky

Samara Weaving as Edie in 'Eenie Meanie' Before James Gunn and the cast and crew of Superman took over Cleveland, another star-studded feature film was laying claim to the sights and sounds and gritty streets of Northeast Ohio: Shawn Simmons Eenie Meanie , debuting today on Hulu. While both films tell the tale of a misunderstood hero just trying to live an honest life, each production brought an entirely different vibe to Cleveland’s neighborhoods. And I say this from personal experience. As a cinephile working downtown during Superman ’s shoot, getting a peek behind the scenes was an exercise in watching from a distance, peering through second-story grocery store windows, or finding hidden spots in parking decks looking over Progressive Field. Eenie Meanie ? Well, all you had to do was ask, and the crew would point you to a good spot on set to watch the action. The set was so open and friendly on the one day I went exploring in Ohio City, I was too self-conscious to take pictu...
