The promo stunt from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts also revealed Harris Dickinson's take on John Lennon and Joseph Quinn as a floppy-haired George Harrison.

It’ll be two more years before we can actually see them on screen, but on Thursday (Jan. 29), fans got the first look at the Fab Four’s look in director Sam Mendes’ upcoming four-part Beatles biopic series. The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts — an arts school co-founded in 1996 by Paul McCartney and British entrepreneur Mark Featherstone-Witty — rolled out postcards featuring photos of the actors playing each member of the group as part of a promotional stunt in conjunction with Sony Pictures UK.

As part of a “postcard hunt” the Institute informed students on Friday (Jan. 30) that it had hidden 20 more of the cards that morning with 20 more to be tucked around by lunchtime, asking them to tag the school and movie studio if they find them. “Another huge thanks to Sony for providing these exclusive, hand-numbered postcards. It’s been such an honour to bring the Beatles back home. Paul, George and John all studied in the buildings that now make up LIPA, while Sir Paul remains our Lead Patron,” read the caption to an Instagram post from the school featuring the images (which you can check out here).
