Not all 4 in an afternoon probably, but yes, it's no mission impossible, at
least in small resolutions. For instance, the trees in the last picture looks
like then could be done by TomTree. We could have a Blobman Tom Cruise, a Poser
dino, Leveller height fields, a Jaime cloudscape etc. The Coliseum would take
some time to model, but there are so many pictures of it that we could rely on
image maps for the texturing, and some already made architecture could be found
in Nathan O'Brien "Piranese" IRTC picture. The main problem would come from the
natural lighting and some of the media stuff (explosions).
The real feat, though, would be to animate the pictures because some of the
"cheating" used for stills would be apparent, and this is where commercial
software is really efficient. Animating the running dino could be done in
Poser, though (there's a running dino motion file available). And for Cruise
hanging by his pinky, there may be some chimp motion files too...
