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.
