Auckland's counting down to hosting a star-studded film production, which kicks off in October.

The Wrecking Crew stars Jason Momoa, Dave Bautista and Temuera Morrison - with filming likely to run at least two months.

Auckland Tataki Unlimited CEO Nick Hill says it's the largest production done here since The Rings of Power series.

He says locals will get a chance to catch filming around the city.

"They will certainly film in the city centre - but also other parts around the region. I think Auckland will actually get to show itself off in a major movie."
