Having made an appearance in Indiana Jones 5 for 153 euros sparked the interest of INPS, which started a procedure to block the pension.
A surreal story, fortunately with a happy ending: a retired banker participated some time ago in the filming of Indiana Jones 5 in Cefalù as an extra, receiving a net salary of 153 euros. Except that the INPS, following a check, decided to revoke the pension allowance to the Palermitan – as “not cumulative” to the income received -, who immediately resorted to the absurd procedure.
Appeal, naturally, won: following the decision of the judge, in fact, the amount of the annual pension (about 31 thousand euros) resumed being paid, also guaranteeing that the entire amount of the costs of the trial ended up at the expense of the Entity and of his bizarre error of judgment.
The Italian shoot took place a year ago between Cefalù, Segesta, and Castellammare del Golfo, in western Sicily: we do not yet know if the places will be the same even in film fiction or will only serve as a facade for other more or less imaginary locations.
Indiana Jones 5 remains, for the rest, a film still quite mysterious, starting from the definitive title, yet to be revealed: we know the main performers and the locations where the filming took place but to get a general picture of the plot it is still early, and Lucasfilm itself has not yet gone into detail.
Filming ended in February, but very little has leaked since, despite a teaser shown during the last D23 Expo with an Indy still in force riding his bike and the presence of Mads Mikkelsen (in a still-mysterious role) and that Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Helena, goddaughter of the protagonist.
Given that scenes were shot in which Indy is struggling with Nazis (presumably during the Second World War) and others during the 60s / 70s (at least judging by the fashion that the characters show off) the film will present at least some jumps and storms … if not, actually, real-time travel, according to some rumors.
Naturally, this has given rise to other speculations on the future of the franchise (which could see a passing of the baton to the character of Helena) but also on the fact that, probably, for a good part of the film Harrison Ford will appear rejuvenated through the CGI, thanks to the techniques put developed by Lucasfilm and Marvel for the latest Star Wars and Marvel Cinematic Universe films.
In the cast, we find, in addition to Ford (soon engaged with the role of Thunderbolt Ross in the MCU), Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Mads Mikkelsen, also Thomas Kretschmann, Boyd Holbrook, Shaunette Renée Wilson, Toby Jones, Antonio Banderas. The release is scheduled for June 30, 2023, naturally accompanied by the soundtrack of John Williams, who will retire right after signing the soundtrack of the film.
