The idea for making Reign of Assassins came about when producer Terence Chang was looking for an action film to star Michelle Yeoh. After several meetings with Su Chao-pin they developed a wuxia style film. Yeoh had initial doubts about the role as she had not used her martial arts skills since Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The rest of the film's cast includes actors from Taiwan, Korea, Hong Kong and China. John Woo stated that "It is a challenge for all. We selected various talented actors for this film and the language seemed to be the main obstacle...But we solved that."
