Casey Neistat, Jesse Wellens team up with Samsung for a branded Christmas movie
Casey Neistat and Jesse Wellens may both be on YouTube breaks but that doesn't mean they'll say no to a good collab.
The two creators teased a Samsung-branded Christmas-themed movie that they are working on together.
They didn't reveal too many details, except for the fact that it will be shot in VR.

The project comes after both creators have stepped back from what they became famous for: Vlogging.
Neistat announced in November that he is no longer going to keep a daily vlog. Shortly after, CNN said it is teaming up with Neistat to launch a new standalone company that will use smartphones to create video content.
The 35-year-old, who starred in his own HBO show before becoming a popular YouTube star, has built a following of 5.8 million subscribers since joining the platform in 2010.
Wellens also took a break from vlogging in May after he and Jeana Smith -- the other half of prank channel BFvsGF -- broke up.
The two creators are currently shooting their movie in Finland, and have been updating fans on social media about their adventures.
