David Nutter is a really big deal in the television industry because the Emmy-winning Game of Thrones director helmed pilots for The Flash, Arrow, Supernatural, The X-Files, and Deception. Notice how all all of these pilots have gone to series. Plus, you had me at X-Files!
Elseworlds can be seen on the CW app or On Demand.
