To the disappointment of many fans, composer Harry Gregson-Williams will no longer be scoring Ridley Scott's Alien: Covenant. Back in February of this year, Gregson-Williams had stated that he would be composing Alien: Covenant's score, but as of two days ago for reasons unknown, he revealed on his Facebook page that he would no longer be involved with the Prometheus sequel:
I won't be scoring Alien: Covenant after all!
With Gregson-Williams no longer attached, we await word on who will step in as the film's new composer. As new details arrive, we'll be sure to update you all updated.

The future of Alien
The Alien franchise is taking a dramatic turn at 20th Century Studios, now owned by Disney. Currently there are two major Alien projects in development - a new Alien TV series by Noah Hawley and a new, stand-alone Alien movie being directed by Fede Alvarez. Both of which will be taking the franchise in a new direction - moving away from the Alien prequel direction Ridley Scott set out to pursue back in 2012.
