My nephew's all-time-favorite toys just seem to be getting more and more popular. The latest thing to come down the rumor mill is Steven Spielberg's involvement in a new Transformers movie:

The director has announced he will follow next year's The War of the Worlds with a live-action tale of the mechanical heroes who disguise themselves as cars, trucks and jets.

This rumor seems to have been floating around the net since July; the most recent info I can find says he's going to produce but not direct. Something tells me I know where my brother will be the day this thing finally opens.
