Wellington's seen as the ideal place to host a major movie premiere. 

That's due to a decade-old agreement between the producers of the Avatar franchise and the Government, given the amount of taxpayers' money that's been contributed.

He says the capital is also home to the films' director James Cameron, and a number of stars.
