Last month, we shared photos and more about Dear Eleanor, a Leonardo DiCaprio production that was shooting in Niwot and other area locations.

Now, the movie has wrapped in Colorado -- but its star, Jessica Alba, shared plenty of images of what happened via Twitter and Instagram.

Shots range from looks at her in full makeup to an image of her on an airport shuttle. Check them out below.

We've been digging into our state's movie history via posts like the best movies filmed in Colorado, the most awesomely cheesy Colorado movies, the biggest movie misses filmed in Colorado and ten hit movies filmed in Colorado. But after compiling our list of memorable movies set in Colorado but not filmed here, we realized that we'd overlooked an even bigger irony: movies with the name of the state or a Colorado city that didn't include a frame of film from here. Look below to see our top ten picks, including posters, actual locations and synopses from linked sites.

Yesterday, we shared our picks for the ten best movies filmed in Colorado. Today, we have a twist -- a top-ten countdown of movies set at least partly in Colorado, but not filmed here. At all.

We're using the word "memorable" instead of "best" for a reason: While some of these flicks are great, others range from "Meh" to "Damn my eyes!" But all of them will stick in your mind, even if the supposedly local scenery isn't so local. Check out all ten below, complete with posters, actual locations and descriptions courtesy of IMDB.

In order to make a movie, you need a crew.

To that end, the Colorado Office of Film, Television & Media has launched an online tool called Colorado Reel-Crew, which will "enable the state's film industry workforce and support service companies to showcase their skills and services to producers considering filming in the state." Colorado Reel-Crew is part of a platform called Reel-Scout, which allows the film office to catalog and promote Colorado locations suitable for filming. Now, it'll be able to do so with local crew, too.

Filmmakers Josh Fox and Phelim McAleer are having quite an argument, but mostly on film and not in the same room. Both men will be in Boulder tonight at the same time to present documentaries that claim to expose the truth about using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in natural gas drilling. But the events are scheduled in different venues, and undecided moviegoers should be advised that the two films have contrary ideas of what the underlying "truth" about fracking might be.
