A boy and a girl.

That's what local casting director Marty Keener Cherrix is looking for in the upcoming Warner Bros. feature film, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," a remake of "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

Cherrix, a Canton resident who found actors for movies such as "Peter Pan," "Cider House Rules," "Chocolat" and "Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood," is looking first in Western North Carolina before she takes her search elsewhere, if necessary. She will hold auditions Saturday at the Asheville Mall.

The remake will star Johnny Depp ("Pirates of the Caribbean") and be directed by Tim Burton ("Big Fish," "Edward Scissorhands").

3. Wouldn't that be fun?!

Heck, I would try to pass myself off as a 10 year old to meet him. LOL!

But alas, I don't think Johnny's going to be here for this. Appreciate the thought, though. :thumbsup:
