Default Re: Adj or adv?

An interesting English film - adjective [it modifies the noun film]

This is another totally different matter.

to be different - linking verb + adjective
totally - adverb modifying the verbal phrase to be different

totally means completely, wholly, entirely

Let`s rephrase your sentence :
This is another completely different matter [different from the one we talked about yesterday]
