I can't help thinking of the way that most (US-made and US-financed) sci-fi films featuring 'alien invasions' or 'monsters on the rampage' or 'robots from the future on a killer mission' seems to imagine that the 'outside threats' are bound to concentrate their targets on the US, and usually on California rather than Washington and New York- preferably near the film-companies' bases around LA or San Francisco. So that shooting the film is cheaper and the Californian teenage audience feel that it's all more relevant to them? Trying out a film set somewhere else on the planet would be a change: put plausibility or experimenting with something new ahead of the revenue statistics for once.
To be fair, the greater the gap between the actors and the viewers, the harder it can be to draw attention.
