First Look at Sam Mendes’ Beatles Revealed in Global Postcard Drop

Sony Pictures has unveiled the first look at director Sam Mendes’ The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event through postcard drops at various Beatles landmarks and music enthusiast locations in Liverpool (the Beatles’ hometown), New York City, Tokyo, and Hamburg.

These postcard images revealed each member of the Fab Four – Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr – and were first documented in an Instagram post by the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.

“We’ve been given exclusive postcards promoting the new Beatles movies!,” LIPA posted. “We’ve hidden them around LIPA, and we want students to find them.”

In addition to LIPA, fans can postcards at John Lennon’s childhood home in Liverpool. IGN has learned that limited edition numbered postcards (some autographed by the cast) have also been distributed in New York, Tokyo, and Hamburg. Beatles fans will know each of these cities have an importance to the Beatles as a band and to them individually.

The Hamburg locations include The Beatles Monument as well as the Cavern Club, the Kaiserkeller, and The Star-Club, all clubs the Beatles played at before making it big internationally.

In New York City, postcards can be found at Strawberry Field in Central Park, New York University, Columbia University, and, we’re told, at various record stores, vintage clothing shops, cafes and bars.

Tokyo locations include Abbey Road Live, Tower Records in Shibuya, Broadway Diner in Yoyogi, Tsutaya, and The Capital Hotel Tokyo.

All four Beatles films will be released on April 7, 2028.
