I agree.Folies Bergere?╟╓s Director To Choreograph ?╟úPerfect?╟Ñ Jerry Jackson, the man credited for conceiving, directing and choreographing the past three production revues of the Tropicana?╟╓s ?╟úFolies Bergere,?╟Ñ has just been tapped to choreograph the silver screen?╟╓s ?╟úPerfect,?╟Ñ a hot new movie property starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis. Jackson was hired to choreograph ?╟úPerfect?╟Ñ by the film?╟╓s director, Jim Bridges (?╟úUrban Cowboy,?╟Ñ ?╟úChina Syndrome?╟Ñ), and has actually been working on the project for quite some time now. ?╟úWe?╟╓re scheduled to finish or or near November 10,?╟Ñ Jackson reported. Almost immediately after finishing ?╟úPerfect,?╟Ñ Jackson will be off for Hong Kong and Australia, where he?╟╓s just been hired to stage and direct a multimillion dollar production show, slated for a late fall ?╟╓85 premiere. The U.S. Olympic Committee has also approached Jerry Jackson regarding a $6 million, lOOth-year Anniversary special for Coca-Cola. That committee?╟╓s creative contingent is negotiating with Jackson and others at the current time. Jackson has experience in both television, motion pictures and Broadway productions, however, he?╟╓s noted most for his brilliant staging of extravaganzas and fast-tern poed choreography. His directing and staging talents of the Trop?╟╓s ?╟úFolies Bergere," has earned the famed French revue the reputation as ?╟úLas Vegas?╟╓ most spectacular, colorful and beautiful Show of Shows.?╟Ñ
