Looks like Apple is turning to the bigwigs in the film industry to make the next iPhone commercial. The Cupertino-based company has apparently enlisted the help of Oscar winning director Sam Mendes (the guy responsible for American Beauty) to make an iPhone HD commercial that will make the product sell like there is no tomorrow. The 44 year old Hollywood director was reportedly auditioning some actors for the commercial recently and the wannabe iPhone stars spilled the beans on Twitter.

The commercial is supposed to highlight the iPhone HD’s best feature which is video calling. The gist of the fourth gen iPhone will reportedly feature a mother and her daughter on video chat using the camera on the face of the iPhone HD. These do coincide with the various next gen iPhone covers and faceplates that are surfacing on the web recently.

The iPhone prototype that found its way to the hands of the press did have a front facing camera in addition to the conventional 5 megapixel snapper found at the back which is also capable of shooting HD (720p) videos.

Aside from that, it is almost guaranteed that Apple will also show various situations in which the iPhone HD’s other features are being highlighted. According to various sources, Apple has also struck a deal with pop icon Lady Gaga to be one of the mobile phone’s main faces. The public may see her in the commercial promoting media features of the device.

According to popular tech blog Engadget, the same source that has brought the commercial to their attention also gave the iPhone HD a nickname. The internal name by which the Apple guys are calling the iPhone HD is reportedly “N90” or simply as the Mammoth.

The mobile phone is due to be launched this June, with everyone’s favorite guy, Steve Jobs, leading the way in the developer conference in San Francisco.
