It didn't take long for word about Steve's size changing technology to get out to the public. Steve was viewed in the media like a real life Hank Prym or Wayne Szalinski. The capabilities of his invention was the talk of not only the scientific world but also the entertainment industry. One studio in particular was very interested in the scientist and his work.
With the revived interest in old time giant monster movies because of some recent global box office cash cows, Johjima Studios had seen moderate success with their modern day slate of monster films. Now the heads of the studios sought to take their productions to the next level and stomp their competition like their monsters did to so many city dwellers. When news about the American scientist and his size changing technology went global they found their opportunity. How better to fully captivate their audience then to have their casts of people shrunken down and moving within their model cities. And why stop there. No more cgi and or forced perspective tricks. No more extras screaming at someone in a green body suit. It would all be authentic.
The studio was so set on utilizing Steve's technology that they offered him a king's ransom of money to consult on their latest film. For only 2 months of work Steve would earn nearly triple his teaching salary. The husband and father of three insisted that his family travel with him which the executives at Johjima happily obliged. Within a week the Jordan family was on a long flight for Japan.
