By Maryann Yin 

CBS Films has unveiled a new trailer The Duff movie. Thus far, it has drawn more than 10,000 “likes” on Facebook. The video embedded above offers glimpses of Mae Whitman in the titular role (whose real name is Bianca).

When we spoke with author Kody Keplinger, she explained that the word “duff” (which stands for “designated ugly fat friend”) is “a real word that real teens use.” Little, Brown Books for Young Readers first released this book back in September 2010. This film adaptation is scheduled to hit theaters in 2015.
