Speaking about playing Ellie's mom — one of the most beautiful full circle moments in a live-action adaptation, in my opinion — Ashley said, "I've been talking about this where usually when a video game is adapted to screen, the voiceover actors or motion capture artists aren’t brought into the fold. So, I got a text from Neil [Druckmann], and he said, 'Craig [Mazin] and I have been talking, and we would love, would you like to play Ellie's mom?' And, of course, just projectile tears."
