Maquettes of Godzilla created by Stan Winston's team for the proposed 1994 American film that was to be directed by Jan de Bont (Speed, Twister) and released by TriStar.

This film was abandoned by TriStar when the budget was projected to be in the $110-130 million range. De Bont insisted the film could be made for $100 million or less, but TriStar insisted on a $90 million budget, so de Bont left the project.

A few years later, after the success of Independence Day (1996), TriStar contracted Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich to make Godzilla. Their film ended up costing $125 million, and leaving a bad taste that persists to this day.
