This could be nifty.

Per Engadget, “American Beauty” director Sam Mendes is in the process of putting together a series of commercials for Apple’s next iPhone, which according to a tipster is being referred to internally as the “Mammoth/N90″.

Along with this tip, a source has confirmed to us that the ads will feature at least one spot where a mother and daughter are having a video chat conversation using the new front-facing camera that’s been spied on the face of that iPhone floating around Vietnam and Northern California.

Finally, a quick search on Twitter revealed that there’s at least one actress who is up for a role in the “f***ing apple commercial” in New York, and a tweet from another actor reveals that he will be auditioning for spots in California.

Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
