Sometimes, when writers and producers adapt a novel, comic book, or video game into a TV show or film, or remake an old TV series or movie, they decide to change the adaptation's setting. This is to reflect the location that it's being filmed in, often due to weather or political reasons. Depending on the work, it can change the feel quite a bit and is often influenced by California Doubling and related tropes. A Super-Trope to Foreign Remake (when the setting change is the whole point of the adaptation), Setting Update (when the setting and/or time period is changed in the adaptation) and Thinly-Veiled Dub Country Change (where the changes in the setting are entirely through dialogue). A subtrope of Adaptation Deviation. |

The Thor comics had the titular character set up shop in New York as Dr. Donald Blake. The first film moved the action to the fictional New Mexico town of Puente Antiguo. The comic Asgardians also settled in Oklahoma after the destruction of their home during Ragnarok. Avengers: Endgame instead places the Asgardian settlement in Tonsberg, Norway. | |

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II "The Sacking of Severus Snape" takes place in the Great Hall as opposed to a hallway in the castle. Voldemort murdering Snape is changed from the Shrieking Shack to the boathouse to give the latter a more picturesque location for their demise. The director also noted it would be the first - and consequently, only - time the boathouse was used in the films. Harry and Voldemort’s final battle takes place in the courtyard outside the Great Hall, whereas it took place inside the Great Hall in the book. Harry, Ron, and Hermione's last conversation before the epilogue also takes place on the bridge to the castle instead of the Headmaster's office. |

Some Like It Hot: The original film has Sweet Sue and her band travel from Chicago to Miami, and Joe and Jerry come along for the ride to escape the mob. In this version, Sue and Sugar being black (along with Jerry and possibly other members, depending on the female ensemble) means they're not heading to Jim Crow-era Florida, but instead to the more liberal San Diego, California. Instead of hiding out in Miami, Joe and Jerry now plan to cross the border into Mexico. | |

Haven is an Adaptation Expansion of Stephen King's novella The Colorado Kid. The novella takes place in Moose-Lookit, Maine. The show instead sets it in the town from The Langoliers, either for the sake of recognition or as a Mythology Gag. Given that both these towns are fictional and set in Maine, it doesn't do anything to change the story...which makes it a rather baffling production choice to begin with. | |

Thomas & Friends: The show and The Railway Series both take place on the fictional Island Of Sodor. However, while in the books and the early episodes of the show Sodor is located off Britain (in the Irish Sea between Cumbria and the Isle of Man), the show did away with that for a while, setting Sodor in some unspecified ocean (with Misty Island nearby). Later episodes did show it in its original location, however. The stations and settings changed between books and show. For example, in the books Tidmouth is the "big station" and Knapford is the junction for Thomas' branch line; in the show these are Knapford and Elsbridge respectively. |

The book Lottie and Lisa was originally set in Austria and Germany but the film adaptations, The Parent Trap (1961) and The Parent Trap (1998), were both set in America, with the latter also featuring Britain. This trope applies to the 1998 version compared to the 1961 version too: the mother and the Girly Girl twin live in Boston in the 1961 film, but London in the 1998 film, and while the father and the Tomboy twin live in Northern California in both versions, they live in Monterey in the 1961 film, but Napa in the 1998 film. | |

The live action Assassination Classroom duology does this in spades. As adapting the Assassination Island Arc in full would have been prohibitively expensive for Japanese cinema, the events of the arc end up occurring right outside the Class E building. In addition, Itona ends up losing his tentacles and joining the class at the conclusion of the live action version of the arc, when in the manga not only did he join them in a later arc, but said arc occurred in a different part of the city. Red Eye attempts to assassinate Koro-sensei during the Kunigaoka School Festival rather than during the school trip to Tokyo. The fight between Koro-sensei and Akari Yukimura also occurs around the Class E building rather than in a nearby field as it did in the manga. As such, the Big Damn Kiss between Nagisa and Kaede/Akari occurs on top of the building rather than on the ground. Class E ultimately kills Koro-sensei inside their school building, when in the original material they did it outside the building. In the final chapter, Nagisa ends up teaching a class full of delinquents in a deadbeat school in an unspecified city. In the film version, the scenario occurs in the decrepit Class E building, as due to Class E's academic efforts being downplayed in the films Principal Asano isn't fired from his position and the Absurdly Divided School system he instituted is still in place. |

On Her Majesty's Secret Service: In the book, Piz Gloria is established to be set above St. Moritz in the Engadine region of Switzerland.

Diamonds Are Forever visits all the locations of the book, with the exception of New York. Live and Let Die: In the book, Mr. Big's lair is in Jamaica. In the film, he resides on the fictional island of San Monique, which was portrayed by - Jamaica. Also, the film never goes to Florida, unlike the book. The Man with the Golden Gun: The book largely took place in Jamaica. The movie sees Bond visit Beirut, Thailand and Hong Kong.

The Power (2023): Margot's hometown in the book was never specified, but it was implied to be Boston, or at least somewhere in New England. In the series, meanwhile, she's the mayor of Seattle. The convent which takes in Allie was originally within New York City. Here, it's in rural Ohio. In both the book and the show, Tatiana comes from a poor, Romanian-speaking Eastern European republic that's depicted as a hub of sex trafficking. In the book, it was the real-world nation of Moldova. The show changes it to a fictional one, Carpathia. |

The Thing from Another World — an adaptation of the novella Who Goes There? — switches the setting from a base in Antarctica (the South Pole) to a base in the North Pole. The 1982 remake switched it back to Antarctica, demonstrating that the story is probably one of the very few that could take place in the direct opposite sides of the Earth and have it make little to no difference. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: During her initial voiceover, Galadriel gives a very stripped-down explanation of how and why the Elves found themselves taking ships from Valinor back to Middle-earth for their war against Morgoth. However, the map shown onscreen depicts them leaving the Valinor of the First Age and arriving in the Middle-earth of the Second Age, with no sign of Beleriand, where the War of the Jewels actually took place. A scene of land sunken beneath the waves implies a reference to Beleriand but makes no reference to its location. Beleriand is directly mentioned for the first time in the fourth episode. When Galadriel and Halbrand arrive in Numenor the magnificent city they disembark at would seem to be Romenna, the great east-coast port that housed Numenor’s fleets. But from the presence of the royal palace it would seem they have merged Romenna with Armenelos, the Numenorean capital that is supposed to be 50 miles inland at the feet of the great mountain Meneltarma, which can actually be seen in the distance. |

The American adaptation of Ultraman, titled Ultraman: The Ultimate Hero, rehashes much of the plot of the original series, but switches locations all the way from Japan to the States. For instance, the original series' two-part episode featuring the kaiju Gomora which is set mostly in Osaka (prominently featuring Osaka's Himeji Castle) is now set in Los Angeles instead. | |

The show and The Railway Series both take place on the fictional Island Of Sodor. However, while in the books and the early episodes of the show Sodor is located off Britain (in the Irish Sea between Cumbria and the Isle of Man), the show did away with that for a while, setting Sodor in some unspecified ocean (with Misty Island nearby). Later episodes did show it in its original location, however. | |

Infinity Train: Wake Me Up: In the Blossomverse, Chloe's first location upon arriving at the Train was the kingdom of Corginia. Here, she only reaches that location a few chapters down the line, and the first car she's seen is a Snow White-themed one. This actually becomes important later on, as The Vermillion Citadel operated under the idea this Chloe had the same start in Corginia as the rest of them, throwing them for a loop. | |

"The Thing Lay Still": The book version has Louis and Claudia dump Lestat's body into a swamp at the bayou, whereas on the show, the latter ends up in a landfill outside of New Orleans where he eats rats instead of alligators to survive. |
