"Variety magazine first reported in 2015 that Disney acquired the movie rights preemptively prior to publication of author Julie Murphy's Texas-set novel with Michael Costigan producing. Reporter Dave McNary posted the story concluding that Disney decided not to go ahead with the project. The novel centers on a confident teen girl - named Duplin' by her former beauty queen mom (played by Aniston in the film) - taking a job at the local fast-food joint. She meets a former jock whom she likes and he seems to like her back, but when Dumplin' begins to doubt herself, she sets out to take back her confidence by entering a beauty pageant in order to gain respect for her mother. Jennifer's producing partner and friend Kristin Hahn wrote the adaption and will produced along with Costigan, who will produce under his COTA Films production company. CAA and UTA are jointly representing domestic rights for the movie. IMR is handling international sales. Aniston most recently starring in "(2016) Office Christmas Party" and "(2014) Horrible Bosses 2". She's represented by CAA and Lighthouse Management & Media. The news was first reported by Deadline Hollywood".
