He is sent to Panama and Jamaica, escorted by the military, to observe a trail of wreckage across land leading to the recovered Japanese fishing ship with massive claw marks on it.

Saperstein (who had co- produced and distributed past Godzilla films for the American market through his studio UPA) received permission from Toho to pitch a new Godzilla film to Hollywood studios, stating, "For ten years I pressured Toho to make one in America.

Finally they agreed." Saperstein initially met with Sony Pictures producers Cary Woods and Robert N. Fried for discussions regarding a live- action Mr. Magoo film but the discussions led to the availability of the rights to Godzilla.[1.

Interested, Woods and Fried proposed the idea to Columbia Pictures, but were initially rejected. Woods stated, "We pitched the idea to Columbia and they passed outright. Their response was they felt it had the potential for camp". The two also tried to pitch the idea to Tri. Star Pictures but were also shot down, Fried stated, "Tri. Star did originally pass on the project. The people who were running the studio at that particular time may not have seen commercial potential there, may not have thought that it would make a great film."[1.

Taking advice from his wife, Woods instead went over the executives' heads and proposed the idea to Peter Guber, the then- Chairman of the Board and CEO of Sony Pictures.[1. Guber became enthusiastic about the idea, seeing Godzilla as an "international brand" and set the film up at Tri.

Star, Woods recalled, "Peter got it; he saw the movie in his head. He was like, ‘Godzilla, the fire- breathing monster?! Yesss!'" Tri. Star Vice Chairman Ken Lemberger was sent to Tokyo to oversee the deal in obtaining the Godzilla rights from Toho in mid- 1.

Sony's initial offer included a $3. Godzilla character, as well as production bonuses, exclusive distribution and merchandising rights for Japan, a profit percentage from international ticket sales and merchandising, usage rights to some of the monsters from the first 1.

Godzilla films, and allow Toho to continue producing domestic Godzilla films while Tri. Star developed their film.[1.

Sequentially, Toho sent Sony a document of rules on how to treat Godzilla, Robert Fried stated, "They even sent me a four- page, single- spaced memo describing the physical requirements the Godzilla in our film had to have. They’re very protective."[1. Stan Winston created a design that was faithful to Toho's Godzilla design.
