Bella Thorne may have graduated from the Disney Channel but she's heading back to high school for her next movie, as she's nearing a deal to star alongside Mae Whitman in CBS Films’ comedy “The DUFF,” TheWrap has learned.
Story follows Bianca (Whitman), a high school senior whose world is turned upside down when she discovers she's been labeled her social group's DUFF (designated ugly fat friend), a sidekick of sorts to her prettier, more popular friends. She becomes determined to reinvent herself, enlisting her fellow DUFFs in a scheme to overthrow Madison (Thorne), the school's evil queen.
