The film — named after Bob Dylan‘s song of the same name from his 1975 album Blood on the Tracks — also stars Jason Isaacs, Allison Williams, Sofia Boutella and Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA. Filming reportedly began over the weekend, with Minogue and Tarantino spotted at a restaurant in the Welsh town of Porthcawl, where Adams grew up and lives.
Adams has gained a reputation for his prolific output of films named after famous songs, including Bittersweet Symphony (2019, after The Verve) and Love Spreads (2021, after The Stone Roses). His most recently released film, Only What We Carry, also features Tarantino and Boutella alongside Simon Pegg, Charlotte Gainsbourg and singer-songwriter Lizzy McAlpine.
Tarantino’s involvement comes while the director is based in the U.K. preparing his West End play The Popinjay Cavalier ahead of a planned 2027 launch.
Minogue began her career in Australian television — appearing on The Sullivans, The Henderson Kids and Neighbours, where she played Charlene Mitchell across nearly 350 episodes from 1986. She first hit the Billboard Hot 100 in 1988 with the No. 3-peaking “The Loco-Motion,” a cover of Little Eva’s 1962 hit.
She returned to the top 10 fourteen years later with “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” (No. 7), the lead single from her Grammy-winning album Fever, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200 — her highest career peak on the chart.
She has landed 11 total titles on the Billboard 200, including 2010’s Aphrodite (No. 19), and logged seven Hot 100 entries with two top 10 hits. On Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart she has proven equally dominant, with 18 entries including top 10 hits “Dance Alone” with Sia (No. 8) and “Padam Padam” (No. 7) — the latter becoming the first song to win the newly created Grammy for Best Pop Dance Recording.
“Padam Padam” also peaked at No. 32 on Pop Airplay, her first appearance on that chart in nearly two decades. She won her first Grammy in 2004 when “Come Into My World” took home Best Dance Recording. She is also set to headline the AFL Grand Final in September.
Tangled Up In Blue is being produced by New York-based Visor Entertainment and does not yet have a release date.
