This is good news I think. However, it sounds a bit odd that they'd just morph a movie from one thing to another. I'm sure it's happened before but I can't see how you start writing an Alien movie and end up with something else.
There was the writer who write a screenplay about a man who, with others, was resisting Castro in Cuba. He meets and falls in love with the daughter of an Anerican diplomat who gets involved in the seditious activities. The film was made. It was called "Dirty Dancing 2: Havana Nights".
So it is fairly common for things to change.
It's easy to do. You start off with a vague idea or character or scene or concept or whatever, and gradually realise that as you've taken bits out and added new bits, what's left is actually so different to what you intended to do when you started that you might as well call it something else entirely.
I'd imagine most large-scale creative things happen like that, to be honest.
