Dominic Lewis has been tapped to score the upcoming teen comedy The DUFF. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Ari Sandel who received an Ocar for his short West Bank Story and stars Mae Whitman, Robbie Amell, Bella Thorne, Bianca A. Santos, Allison Janney and Ken Jeong. The movie based on the novel by Kody Keplinger follows a high school senior whose world is turned upside down when she learns that her group of friends has labeled her the DUFF (designated ugly fat friend). Josh A. Kagan (Bandslam) has written the screenplay. McG (Charlie’s Angels, Terminator: Salvation), Susan Cartsonis (What Women Want, Beastly) and Mary Viola (Before We Go, Playing It Cool) are producing the project for Wonderland Sound and Vision. The DUFF is set to be released on February 20, 2015 by CBS Films. For updates on the comedy, visit the official movie website.
