Takashi Miike's Masters of Horror: Imprint is scheduled to be screened at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival 2006 (Yûbari Kokusai Fantasutikku Eigasai 2006) - "YIFFF" for short - in Hokkaido, Japan on February 25th at 11:00 p.m. (23:00).
The screenplay for Masters of Horror: Imprint was written by Daisuke Tengan, based on the novel Bokkê, kyôtê (the title of which is in the Okayama dialect of Japanese) by Shimako Iwai. The (made-for-TV) movie apparently stars Youki Kudoh (Kudô Yûki), Billy Drago, Michie (a.k.a. Michie Itô), and Toshie Negishi. Yûichi Matsui was responsible for its special make-up effects.
Here's a synopsis for Masters of Horror: Imprint from this page for the movie on TV.com: "An American journalist in 19th century Japan is hoping to find the love he left behind. His long search leads him to a dark island where the only sanctuary is a brothel. He ends up spending the night with an interesting woman where he learns that some things are better off left in the past."

Miike's other upcoming movies include Big Bang Love, Juvenile A (46-okunen no koi) and Waru: Final.

so...one more crappy Masters of Horror episode before we get to see Miike's? Can't wait! Cigarette Burns was awesome...all the other episodes sucked really really really bad.

It still isn't listed on Showtime's site. Hopefully they get their shit together and show it.
I agree. Those were the only 2 episodes I was interested in but I decided to see the others out of curiosity. Needless to say, I wasn't impressed.
Good thing I don't pay for Showtime.
Stuart Gordon's Awesome
Joe Dante's Awesome
John Carpenter's...awesome (saw the documentry Z Channel the same day)
Dario Argento...disturbing...written for the screen by Steven Weber(wings)more disturbing...but still enjoyable(even MORE disturbing).
In my opinion...the only one that was a waste was Tobe Hoopers...and the guy who did the Stand...who we have to thank for the creating the show in the first place...so...you have to be somewhat lenient(sp). Anyhoo...the shows run is over for this season. Doubt Miike's will be on till next season...or possibly this is some other obscure entry into another horror anthology.
Acording to NY Times Miikes episode wont be screening at all...
