A draft script that was discarded once Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich came on board to make the famously underwhelming Godzilla film. This script isn't a classic but is much better than what Devlin came up with... it has a lot of similarities with the later version, including a prologue that happens years before and involves the death of a middle aged man, which haunts survivors; there's another creature for Godzilla to battle; a climax that involves a hero jumping out of a copter into a city.
I wasn't wild about the male hero being an author, or some stuff like a young girl strutting around in underwear, but it was a very structurally strong movie which had good logic and was underpinned with an emotional journey. It would've made a good film.
