With anticipation for [[TriStar Pictures|TriStar's]] Godzilla film in full swing, [[Shogo Tomiyama]] had pitched a possible sequel to both it and Toho's Heisei Godzilla series during the early stages of [[Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla]]. However, it had turned out Toho had a policy stating that there could not be a "true" Godzilla vs. Godzilla film. Even if this policy had not existed, this possible film was fully scrapped the following year. With Toho ending the Heisei Era with [[Godzilla vs. Destoroyah]], and TriStar's film going through a complete overhaul with Jan De Bont leaving the project, being replaced by [[Roland Emmerich]], eventually leading to the [[Godzilla (1998 film)|finished product]] being released in 1998. Something similar to the Japanese Godzilla going up against his American counterpart did happen eventually, with [[Godzilla: Final Wars]] introducing the new monster [[Zilla]], a kaiju that was almost an exact copy of the [[Godzilla/TriStar|1998 Godzilla]], and having him do battle with [[Godzilla/Final Wars|Godzilla]] in that film.

Plot

No plot details are known aside from the match-up itself.

History

Arimasa suggested Godzilla vs. Godzilla to producer Shogo Tomiyama as Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla was taking shape, shortly after Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio submitted their first draft of Godzilla to TriStar.[2] Though Tomiyama had no objections, Toho had already decided against making any films in which Godzilla simply battled another Godzilla. However, Arimasa would get his wish a decade later in Godzilla: Final Wars, where Godzilla battled the new monster Zilla, a kaiju that was almost an exact copy of the Godzilla design TriStar ultimately chose.
