TheaterEars and Paramount Unveil Exclusive Ebenezer Poster Ahead of Johnny Depp Film’s Spanish-Audio Launch

Johnny Depp's Ebenezer Scrooge is being haunted by something new before the ghosts even arrive.

TheaterEars has unveiled an exclusive new poster for Paramount Pictures' Ebenezer, created with Paramount ahead of the movie's November 13 theatrical release and its confirmed launch on TheaterEars.

The artwork puts Depp's Scrooge near the top of a stark, snowy landscape while enormous shadow-like hands stretch toward him from below. Long black brushstrokes transform Scrooge's own shadow into something threatening, while the movie's title cuts across the bottom of the image in vivid red.

Underneath it sits the ominous line:

“You will be haunted by three spirits…”

But the most significant addition appears at the bottom of the poster.

Alongside the TheaterEars logo is a message aimed directly at Spanish-speaking moviegoers:

“DISFRUTA EN ESPAÑOL CON THEATEREARS — EN CINES EL 13 DE NOVIEMBRE.”

The exclusive creative arrives just two days before Ebenezer opens nationwide and highlights something increasingly important about the theatrical release:

Spanish-speaking audiences will be able to experience Johnny Depp's new movie in Spanish through TheaterEars beginning November 13, 2026.

Paramount officially lists Ebenezer for a November 13 theatrical release, with Depp starring as Scrooge in director Ti West's new interpretation of Charles Dickens' classic Christmas ghost story.

An Exclusive Poster Built Around the Darker Side of Ebenezer

The TheaterEars poster doesn't look like traditional Christmas advertising.

There are no glowing fireplaces.

No brightly decorated Christmas trees.

No warm Victorian streets.

Instead, the image is almost completely stripped down.

Scrooge stands alone.

Snow falls around him.

His black clothing disappears into an enormous darkness beneath his feet.

And from that darkness come several distorted hands reaching toward him.

The design immediately communicates the supernatural side of A Christmas Carol.

Scrooge is not simply an unpleasant old man who needs to rediscover Christmas spirit.

He is about to be confronted by:

his past,

his present,

his future,

his mortality,

and the consequences of the life he has chosen.

That approach fits Paramount's own positioning of the movie.

The studio describes Ebenezer as a new supernatural reimagining in which Depp's Scrooge collides with his past, present and future during one unforgettable Christmas Eve.

The official campaign has repeatedly used another line:

“The name you know, the story you don't.”

The new TheaterEars poster takes that idea and pushes the ghost-story element even further.

Johnny Depp Becomes Ebenezer Scrooge

At the center of the artwork is Johnny Depp, transformed into an older, severe-looking Ebenezer Scrooge.

He wears:

a tall black top hat,

a heavy black coat,

dark gloves,

and carries a walking stick.

The appearance is unmistakably Dickensian, but it also fits naturally within Depp's long history of dramatic physical transformations.

Throughout his career, Depp has built characters through:

costume,

makeup,

movement,

voice,

and silhouette.

Edward Scissorhands could be recognized from across a room.

So could Sweeney Todd.

So could Captain Jack Sparrow.

The new poster suggests that the filmmakers want Scrooge to have that same instantly recognizable physical presence.

Rather than portraying him as simply an elderly businessman, this Scrooge almost looks like part of the Gothic world surrounding him.

Ti West Brings Horror DNA to A Christmas Carol

That darker visual approach makes even more sense when you consider who directed the film.

Ebenezer comes from Ti West, the filmmaker behind:

Pearl,

MaXXXine,

The House of the Devil,

and The Innkeepers.

West has spent much of his career making horror movies.

And although generations of adaptations have transformed A Christmas Carol into comfortable holiday entertainment, Dickens' original story is fundamentally supernatural.

Jacob Marley is dead.

His ghost appears in chains.

Three spirits arrive in the middle of the night.

Scrooge witnesses suffering.

He confronts a future in which people react to his death with indifference.

And eventually he is shown his own grave.

Paramount has leaned into that material rather than hiding it. The studio calls the film a dramatic and stylized reimagining of the classic story, while its official synopsis emphasizes Scrooge's supernatural journey toward a possible second chance.

The shadowy arms in the TheaterEars poster make that interpretation immediately visible.

Something is coming for Scrooge.

A Major Cast Surrounds Johnny Depp

Depp isn't making the journey alone.

Paramount's confirmed cast includes:

Rupert Grint

Andrea Riseborough

Sam Claflin

Daisy Ridley

Arthur Conti

Ellie Bamber

Henry Lloyd-Hughes

Charlie Murphy

Tramell Tillman

and

Ian McKellen.

Grint plays Bob Cratchit.

Riseborough takes on the Ghost of Christmas Past.

Tillman appears as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

And McKellen plays Jacob Marley, Scrooge's deceased former business partner whose supernatural warning begins the night's events.

The movie is written by Nathaniel Halpern and directed by Ti West.

The Poster Makes Spanish Availability Part of the Movie Marketing

The most notable part of the new artwork may not actually be Scrooge.

It may be the TheaterEars branding.

Movie posters traditionally promote:

the star,

the title,

the release date,

and occasionally a premium format such as IMAX.

This poster also promotes:

language access.

The Spanish callout isn't buried on a theater listing page.

It isn't hidden inside an accessibility menu.

It is part of the creative itself.

“DISFRUTA EN ESPAÑOL CON THEATEREARS.”

For TheaterEars, that matters.

It positions Spanish-language access as something moviegoers can know about before deciding which movie to see, rather than something they discover after searching through individual theater showtimes.

It also puts the TheaterEars brand directly alongside one of Paramount's major November theatrical releases.

Ebenezer Will Be Live on TheaterEars November 13

Ebenezer is confirmed to go live on TheaterEars on:

Friday, November 13, 2026.

TheaterEars' existing Ebenezer guide already confirms that the movie will be available through the service beginning November 13.

For a supported TheaterEars presentation, a moviegoer can use the app to listen privately through their own headphones while watching the film in the theater.

That means someone who prefers Spanish does not necessarily need to separate from friends or relatives who want to watch the movie in English.

The group can attend the same theatrical presentation.

The auditorium continues playing its normal soundtrack.

The TheaterEars user listens privately through headphones.

For bilingual and multigenerational families, that can change the moviegoing decision completely.

How to Watch Ebenezer in Spanish with TheaterEars

For moviegoers planning to see Ebenezer beginning November 13, the TheaterEars process is straightforward.

Download the TheaterEars app before arriving at the movie theater.

Find Ebenezer inside the app.

Select the supported language and showtime.

Load the track.

Bring wired or Bluetooth headphones.

When the feature begins, press play.

The TheaterEars app listens to the theatrical presentation and synchronizes the alternate audio to the movie.

Once synchronized, the user can put the phone away and watch the film while hearing the selected audio privately.

The movie itself remains on the big screen exactly as everyone else in the auditorium sees it.

There Are Also Dedicated En Español Screenings

TheaterEars is not the only Spanish-language option for Ebenezer.

Cinemark has already launched a dedicated listing titled:

[En Español] Ebenezer.

Its listing confirms:

November 13, 2026

PG-13

and a runtime of approximately:

2 hours.

That gives Spanish-speaking moviegoers two distinct ways to approach the film.

A dedicated [En Español] screening puts the Spanish dub through the auditorium's speaker system for everyone.

TheaterEars creates a personal language experience through headphones.

The second option can be especially useful when different people in the same group prefer different languages.

Spanish-Speaking Families Don't Have to Split Up

Consider a family going to Ebenezer together.

Some family members primarily speak English.

Another family member is more comfortable in Spanish.

Traditionally, the choice might be:

everyone watches the English version,

everyone chooses a Spanish-dubbed showtime,

or the family attends separate screenings.

TheaterEars creates another possibility.

They can sit together.

Watch the same Johnny Depp performance.

See the same ghosts.

Experience the same movie.

But listen in the language each viewer prefers.

That is the practical message behind the Spanish line at the bottom of the exclusive poster.

Why Ebenezer Is a Strong Fit for TheaterEars

Ebenezer also makes sense as a TheaterEars title because A Christmas Carol has always been a multigenerational story.

Parents know it.

Grandparents know it.

Children recognize Scrooge.

Different generations may know the story through completely different versions.

For one person, Scrooge might be Alastair Sim.

For another, Michael Caine.

For someone else, Jim Carrey.

And now a younger audience may know:

Johnny Depp.

That makes it exactly the kind of movie that can bring:

parents,

children,

grandparents,

English speakers,

Spanish speakers,

and bilingual families

into the same theater.

Language shouldn't require those audiences to separate.

Paramount Is Betting on the Big Screen

The partnership also arrives as Paramount continues emphasizing theatrical exhibition.

At CinemaCon earlier this year, Paramount positioned Ebenezer as one of its major theatrical releases, with Ti West appearing in a recorded introduction and Johnny Depp taking the stage to present footage from the movie.

Paramount used that presentation as part of a broader message that its upcoming movies were designed specifically for the theatrical experience.

Now the exclusive TheaterEars poster adds another dimension to that strategy:

making the theatrical experience more accessible to audiences who want to experience the film in Spanish.
