Set in Washington State, filmed nearby in Nelson, BC. An actual Nelson fire hall was used, and you can clearly see “Nelson Fire Department” written on a fire engine. Apparently, in this universe, Nelson is found in the American part of the Pacific Northwest.

Set in Baltimore, which is only seen in the opening aerial shot. The rest is pure Toronto. A Toronto streetcar in TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) livery is seen a few times, though to be fair, it was one of the old PCC streetcars that the TTC keeps operational for situations such as movie shoots. Tracy’s high school is actually Lord Landsdowne Public School (near Spadina Avenue and College Street), well-known in Toronto for its funky 1960s architecture. And the protest to the TV studio goes south on Dupont Street under the CPR North Toronto overpass.

I just kinda want to finish the category, but I’m a little shaky on this-- I’m pretty sure that the movie is supposed to take place in the Midwest, but the flora, the way people are dressed, and the amount of sunshine, make it obvious it’s filmed in S. California.
Passing on giving the next category, in case I’m wrong. Anyone who wants to second my response can post the next category.
Natalie Portman plays Lucy Cola (Lisa Nowak) an astronaut who is better remembered for traveling hundreds of miles in a diaper to attack a woman having an affair with her boyfriend.
