Well, here I come.

Among its historial, Toho had many various ideas for Kaiju films which, some of them, unfortunately, by some reasons, were discarded (frankly, it could be a good idea seeing Godzilla VS Bagan, or Godzilla VS Asuka Fortress, or Godzilla VS MechaMothra, or Godzilla VS M...). One of the most known of these scrapped ideas is a film idea which came before Godzilla VII: Godzilla VS Destoroyah (1995), and it was known as Godzilla VS Ghost Godzilla. Following the release of Godzilla VI: Godzilla VS. SpaceGodzilla in 1994, Toho immediately began work on the next Godzilla film. Due to the impending release of the first American-produced Godzilla film by TriStar Pictures (directed by Roland Emmerich) 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. The movie was going to go for a more fantasy based approach than previous Godzilla entries, as the 1950's Godzilla was going to be revived as a ghost during the film in order to have him square off with his modern day counterpart. The project was eventually scrapped, though, with director Takao Okawara citing that three movies in a row where Godzilla faces off against creatures that resemble him (Mechagodzilla in 1993 and SpaceGodzilla in 1994) was simply too much.

In terms of supporting cast, it's not known how the Little Godzilla/Godzilla Junior character would have fit into Kazuki Omori's idea for the movie (altought it's said that it could be possessed by Ghost Godzilla). The screenplay, however, was going to incorporate Anguirus in some capacity, as concept art was commissioned to try and design a "Heisei Series Version" of the character.

Well, here's my own interpretation and fanart (as a photomanipulation) of how the concept could be. As Ghost Godzilla, I put the version from "Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!" (2001; directed by Shusuke Kaneko) (A.K.A. SokogekiGoji), due to this version likely approachesmore to the idea of "Ghost Godzilla", due to the premise of being the original 1954 monster revived by paranormal causes (altought the original concept by Kazuki Omori didn't stablished that it could be revived by the spirits of the innocents died in the times of the Second World War, like Shusuke Kaneko's version (altought I must recognize that Kaneko crossed the line with his premise idea...)), also features eyes with no pupils, and is portrayed as a being of pure evilness. Also, sometimes, I think Shusuke Kaneko re-taken the idea of Ghost Godzilla, but with his own interpretation.

Comment, please.
