In 1994 Italian director [[Michele Soavi]] directed the film ''[[Dellamorte Dellamore]]'' (known abroad as ''[[Cemetery Man]]'' or ''Of Death and Love''), with a screenplay written by Giovanni Romoli and based on [[Tiziano Sclavi]]'s similarly titled novel.<ref>{{IMDb title|qid=Q929886|title=Dellamorte Dellamore}}</ref>
Francesco Dellamorte (his mother's surname was Dellamore) – a sort of Italian [[alter ego]] for Dylan Dog –  appears for the first time in the third special issue of Dylan Dog, ''Orrore nero'' (''Black Horror''), released July 1989, in which he met the Nightmare Detective, but Sclavi's novel was written before the special issue.

Francesco Dellamorte also appears in a short (comic book) sequel to Orrore nero, entitled ''{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20070817001214/http://www.stradanove.net/news/testi/fumetti/fasca1709982.html Stelle cadenti]}}'' (''Falling stars''), where Dylan, Groucho, Francesco and Gnaghi are walking together during saint Lawrence's night, watching shooting stars and talking about life and death.

English actor [[Rupert Everett]], who inspired Dylan Dog's design,<ref name=Everett/> played the protagonist, Francesco Dellamorte, while Italian model and actress [[Anna Falchi]] played the female lead. Although having Everett in the main role, the Dylan Dog character did not appear in the movie.

====''Dylan Dog: Dead of Night''====

[[Kevin Munroe]] has directed ''[[Dylan Dog: Dead of Night]]'', an official American film adaptation of Dylan Dog starring actor [[Brandon Routh]] as the title character.

Differences between the comic result in the film being set in [[New Orleans]] instead of London, the character of Groucho being replaced by an un-dead sidekick called Marcus due to issues for the production to acquire the rights to use the [[Groucho Marx]] name and style, another difference is Dylan Dog's Volkswagen Beetle being black with a white hood instead of the opposite like in the comic. The film also appears to be much lighter in tone and more action-oriented, lacking the surreal feeling, the black humour and the melancholy of the comic book, and the Dylan character is portrayed like more of a scientist-adventurer in the vein of [[Indiana Jones (character)|Indiana Jones]], rather than the romantic loner he is in the comics. Accordingly, Dylan's physical appearance changes to that of a muscular action hero rather than the slightly built in the comics.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.movieplayer.it/articoli/07918/dylan-l-ammazzavampiri/|title=Dylan l'ammazzavampiri|journal=Movieplayer.it|date=2011-03-15|accessdate=2011-03-17|author=Roberto Castrogiovanni|language=it}}</ref>

It was originally going to premiere on [[Halloween]] 2010 in Italy but was since pushed back to a 29 April 2011 release. The film has been produced by the independent company [[Platinum Studios]].
