Sacha Baron Cohen asks Dick Cheney to sign a Waterboard kit in a new TV show

Sacha Baron Cohen dropped a clue about a big upcoming project.

The creator of "Borat" tweeted Sunday a trailer of about 20 seconds that opens with a simple text: "Imagine if Sacha Baron Cohen had been secretly filmed underground for a year. "

Former Vice President Dick Cheney in an interview chair, apparently agreeing to sign "a waterboard kit" at the request of someone off-camera – someone who which sounds a lot like Cohen disguising his voice to play a new character.

"It's a first," says Cheney, while he seems to autograph the object on his lap. "It's the first time I've signed a waterboard."

Cheney is known for his support of so-called improved interrogation techniques, including including waterboarding, which the CIA used in the fight against al-Qaeda after the September 11 attacks. The techniques have since been discontinued, but the former vice president argued that they should be reinstated during an interview with Fox Business in May.

The clip seems to come from an upcoming Showtime show (and mysterious) on which Cohen apparently worked. The series is expected to premiere on July 15 and look at posters from New York's US magazines that have spotted the new program – with the phrases "Who is America?" And "you've been warned" in Brooklyn over the weekend.

The tweet comes a few days after Cohen posted a video teasing President Donald Trump, who was a target of the show "Da Ali G" in a 2003 episode.
