Where was Forty Days and Forty Nights filmed?

Josh Hartnett's character Matt is so preoccupied with his ex-girlfriend Nicole (Vinessa Shaw) that it causes him to experience issues when trying to be intimate with other women. He confides in his brother, John (Adam Trese), a Catholic priest-in-training, and also finds out that Nicole is now committed elsewhere. In an effort to address his issues, Matt decides to abstain from any form of sex or intimacy for the duration of Lent—or 40 days.

Feeling despondent due to the "emptiness" inside, Matt seeks help in confession. His conversations with his priest-in-training brother through the confessional window provide some of the most humorous lines of the script, written by Rob Perez in his debut.

Bridge Studios at 2400 Boundary Rd is surprisingly easy to reach although studio tours are not presently offered. Still, from Vancouver, it's just a short driving trip away. Start by taking West 4th Avenue until the Doyle Street turnoff. Follow Doyle Street until you see Boundary Road, then take a left. You'll be there in about 15 minutes total if traffic is light. If you're coming from other parts of Canada, getting to Burnaby shouldn't be too difficult either. Taking the Trans-Canada Highway 1 will bring you right around to 2400 Boundary Road without having to worry about navigating through busy downtown streets.

This scene takes place at Matt’s apartment. On the inaugural day of his celibacy, Matt (Josh Hartnett) sets out to rid his apartment of anything that might tempt or remind him of Nicole (Vinessa Shaw). Sex videos and magazines are removed, and nude posters are taken down—all that is left for him to do is focus on things like building model cars and working hard, presenting his work ahead of time.

Getting to 1945 22nd St in San Francisco, California, USA is a breeze for locals and visitors alike. The street is relatively easy to reach by public transit, car, bike, and foot.

When Erica (Shannyn Sossamon) discovers the website detailing Matt's (Josh Hartnett) Lenten Vow, she believes that Matt has been betting on her with his friends. This prompts Matt to visit her office and attempt to explain himself. Despite his efforts to clarify his intentions, Erica remains angry. But as we all know, after developing feelings for him, Erica agrees to another date. To get to Pier 9, The Embarcadero, there are a number of options available. Depending on where you are coming from and the mode of transport preferred, you take public transportation like Muni Metro or Golden Gate Transit buses, which can be taken directly to the pier. A walk along the waterfront would also be a pleasant experience with spectacular views and landmarks along the way. Alternatively, one could rent a scooter or bike and ride along the Embarcadero Freeway Trail or Historic Waterfront Promenade for an enjoyable journey. Regardless of how you choose to get there, Pier 9 is an amazing destination.
