Production

Crisis Negotiators is a remake of the 1998 American action thriller film The Negotiator. Director Herman Yau had initially rejected the offer to helm the remake, before agreeing to direct the adaptation on his second invitation. The film rights were acquired for US$100,000.

Principal photography began in May 2023. Filming took place mostly in different studios, with Sean Lau and Francis Ng being separated for much of the shoot. Location filming occurred in Ho Man Tin in June, during which Lau was infected with COVID-19, leading to a pause in production for several days. Filming wrapped in early July.
