It was announced earlier this month that NBC had ordered a pilot for Constantine -- DC's newest live-action television venture following The CW's Arrow and (possible Flash series) and FOX's Gotham.

NBC's Constantine pilot gets a director.

Deadline is now reporting that the network has tapped Neil Marshall, director of the 2005 British horror film The Descent, to helm the pilot. Constantine won't be Marshall's first involvement with a TV show. He recently directed the pilot episode for Michael Bay's Black Sails, and directed Game of Thrones' acclaimed "Blackwater" episode. He has an additional episode of Black Waters, not to mention an episode of Game of Thrones: Season 4, coming up soon.Constantine follows titular con-artist John Constantine as he is forced into the role of supernatural detective, protecting humanity from the forces of both hell and heaven.
