Back in November, we reported that Harry Gregson-Williams would no longer be scoring Alien: Covenant. And we didn’t know who would be stepping up to fill the vacant position.Today’s teaser trailer changed that and confirmed that Australian composer, Jed Kurzel, would now be scoring Alien: Covenant. Jed Kurzel is an Australian singer-songwriter-guitarist and has been composing for films since 2000.Jed Kurzel is Alien: Covenant’s new composer!He hasn’t worked with Sir Ridley Scott before but Kurzel has scored two of Michael Fassbender’s films – Macbeth and most recently Assassin’s Creed.

DarknessDec 25, 2016, 09:29:55 AM Reply #6 on: Dec 25, 2016, 09:29:55 AM Oh, not this again. That was completely made up.I don't buy scheduling conflicts. He was already well into composing it.

DarknessDec 25, 2016, 09:58:48 AM Reply #8 on: Dec 25, 2016, 09:58:48 AM "Creative Differences" will be the official line. Which I find strange considering he's very experienced and worked with Scott on Martian.
ProtozoidDec 25, 2016, 09:59:57 AM Reply #9 on: Dec 25, 2016, 09:59:57 AM This will be the fourth Fassbender film he's scored, after Slow West, Macbeth, and Assassin's Creed.I liked his scores for Babadook and Macbeth, but I think he's a step down from Gregson-Williams.

NickisSmartDec 25, 2016, 11:11:54 AM Reply #11 on: Dec 25, 2016, 11:11:54 AM Oh, I loved the score for the Babadook. This should be good.
ProtozoidDec 25, 2016, 11:23:17 AM Reply #12 on: Dec 25, 2016, 11:23:17 AM IMDB now lists Pietro Scalia as Covenant's editor. No big surprise, there, but I think it's still news.

He was already well into composing it.Not to mention that his contract would have covered the possibility of re-shoots and delays. It might be possible that he was already signed on for another project before he agreed to score Covenant but he broke the news that he was scoring Covenant quite early during production.
