Godzilla Reborn was a proposed American-produced sequel to Godzilla 2000: Millennium written by Michael Schlesinger, who wrote the American dub of the film, and set to have been directed by Joe Dante. Using Toho-produced suitmation with human scenes shot in Hawaii, the film would have had a modest budget of $20 million, with planned cast members including Leonard Nimoy, Bruce Campbell, Christopher Lee, Jamie Lee Curtis with Shiro Sano reprising his role as Shiro Miyasaka from Godzilla 2000. The tone of the film was described as having a more comedic human story contrasted with monster scenes being played much more seriously.
