What takes place if a YouTube celebrity and a celebrated movie composer each happen to be in Antarctica simultaneously? For Jimmy Donaldson (MrBeast) and Hans Zimmer, it means making a video and writing an original score for a YouTube video, everything within 12 days.
After arriving in Antarctica to shoot his most recent YouTube video, which sees the stunt-happy content maker spending 50 hours outside the Union Glacier, Donaldson promptly discovered that Zimmer happened to also be there. He took the chance to pitch the composer and, within just four hours, the duo made a deal to have the Oscar winner composing the music for the YouTube video, as commented by Donaldson.
According to his statement, the moment he heard Hans was there too, he knew he had to work with him on this no matter what it took.
