Would anyone else be interested in a film directed by a top notch director, top notch actors of today.
Find a location, hand built sets, large scale epic with costumes and using nothing but real lighting and practical effects. Fake blood, amputees for scenes where someone gets an arm cut off or leg.
For example, if someone in war gets their arm cut off you see the amputee from behind getting a prosthetic cut off and fake blood spewing out. Then close up on the face of the real actor. Then back to the wide shot. Use camera tricks and lighting.
Do you think that would be a shock to our system? Maybe it would be so grand and appealing and acclaimed, it could set the box office on fire? As long as it’s a well crafted film with good writing and acting.
I miss real explosions as well. It looks so much better and rich in my eyes on screen than CGI.

I would, but it will never happen. Even stuff that could be done easily with pracitical effects (blood and gore) is done with CGI. They actually tried to make "The Thing" remake with practical effects, but the producers took the film and inserted a bunch of CGI at the last minute because they thought it would sell better to the general public.

There are movies that still do this.
At least in way where I personally can't tell much of a difference. Everything besides the cgi rat in 1917 looks real to me.
Almost everything in Tenet was filmed on location with practical effects. He even had the actors fight backwards for real and talk backwards for real. He for real crashed a 747 into an air hanger.
This is part of why his fanbase is so loyal. He brings back the feeling of big budget action movies from the 1980's and early 1990's.

"I miss real explosions as well"
While I'm not in love with it, I do kind of understand why Hollywood prefers CGI explosions as opposed to actual ones, there have been accidents from pyrotehcnics/stunts that have resulted in injury or even death (the helicopter accident in the Twilight Zone movie comes to mind)

If it can be done before, it can be done again.

If Arnold Schwarzenegger made a final Conan the Barbarian film I think it should be done this way or no deal.

That'd be terrific. But I'd be surprised if it happened.

We would have to figure out which third world country could pull it off

I love watching historical epics so that would be a yes for me. As far as I'm aware, some epics are still shot on location, but they use blue screen set extensions to enhance the backgrounds. Some of the time, the compositing of the CGI visual effects blends in quite well with what's real, but there are times when it looks jarring. On-set explosions usually tend to look better than their CGI counterparts.

I would like to. It takes a lot more work and effort to have it that way, but it could potentially have even more impact.
