[After crushing its box office competition with an opening $34 million weekend, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows star Will Arnett talks to SOHH about the flick’s opening scene sequence filming at a live New York Knicks game.]

That was awesome. You get to do a lot of cool things in our job. But the novelty has still not worn off, that you get to go to Madison Square Garden, shoot and be court side.

We shot during like TV timeouts – they had four of five of them. So we rehearsed the day before, went in, and it was the first scene that we shot in the movie, and of course luckily we had a 18,000 strong audience to watch our first take. It was kind of like we had to get it.

Of course the Knicks lost.

But the best part was the Clippers and DeAndre Jordan’s in the movie and he’s great, and of course the day that we’re there with the crew he just puts up a monster game, like he had like three monster ESPN Top 10 slam dunk. He was awesome. But it was a lot of fun.

It was kind of nerve-racking. We had to do the same take, the same scene basically a few times, and in that scene the Turtles’ Mikey shoots a peashooter at me and I got to kind of spin around like and I’ve got something on my face.

And I think that initially people just thought I was at the game with Alessandra Ambrosio, which is awesome for people to think that, and then I had a couple friends, Jason Sudeikis was on the other side of the court and he texted me and he’s like, you keep doing the same interview and you’re spinning your head around. What are you [doing]? He thought I was like losing my mind.

I’m like, no, no, we’re actually – that’s a film crew, man.
