Godzilla vs. Ghost Godzilla (ゴジラVSゴーストゴジラ Gojira buiesu Gōsuto Gojira) is an unmade 1995 Godzilla (Franchise) Template:GFilmC.
Overview
Following the release of Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla in 1994, {{TohoCo}] immediately began work on the next Godzilla film. Due to the impending release of the first American-produced Godzilla film by TriStar Pictures and its potential sequels, Toho decided to bring their series to a temporary close and cease production of Godzilla films until 2005. For the final entry of the Heisei series, Toho decided to tie back to the original 1954 film, pitting Godzilla against the restless spirit of the first Godzilla. Concept art of Godzilla's opponent, Ghost Godzilla, was submitted by Shinji Nishikawa on December 27, 1994. This artwork revealed that Ghost Godzilla would possess Little Godzilla and grow into a reincarnation of the 1954 Godzilla. Concept art for a Heisei version of Anguirus was also included in the book Heisei Godzilla Perfection, and was stated to be commissioned for Godzilla vs. Ghost Godzilla.
Ultimately, this screenplay, written by Kazuki Omori, was discarded because director Takao Okawara felt that a third consecutive film pitting Godzilla against a clone of himself (after Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla 2 and Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla), would have been "too much." The film was replaced with a project titled Godzilla vs. Barubaroi, which eventually became Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.
