Another Karen Read production is in the works, this one from a couple of Boston guys who know a thing or two about making movies.
Matt Damon confirmed Friday, amid his press tour for new movie “The Odyssey,” that his production company is working on a Karen Read movie.
“I’m developing a movie at the company about it,” he said, adding it was in the “very early days.”
He was talking to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on their talk show — the actor had been asked about the case because Ripa was an avid watcher of the trial. She volunteered to be a consultant on the production.
“The Odyssey” is one of the most talked about films of the summer. Hannah Donnelly sits down with the star-studded cast and director Christopher Nolan to talk about the incredible way they brought Homer’s epic poem to life.

Damon didn’t say if the movie would be a drama or documentary.
He and Ben Affleck founded the production company Artists Equity. Its website on Friday didn’t list a Karen Read project alongside other works in production, like a drama about a Nantucket bartender played by Renée Zellweger whose mother and daughter both move in with her and an Affleck-narrated show called “Hunting Whitey Bulger” about the infamous Southie mob boss.
Another actor from Massachusetts is reportedly already working on a Karen Read project: Pittsfield’s Elizabeth Banks. The production company behind that limited series, Warner Brothers Television, hasn’t shared anything about the show since reports about it came out in the Hollywood press last August.
