A shorter, re-edited version of the film played later in 2003 at the Toronto International Film Festival (although it still retained the controversial sex scene). [20] The new version was regarded more highly by some, even Ebert, who gave the new cut three stars out of a possible four. Neither Anna Vareschi nor Elizabeth Blake, both in the film, were professional actresses. Kirsten Dunst and Winona Ryder were both attached to the project but left. In an interview from The Guardian, [8] Sevigny said of the sex scene: "It was tough, the toughest thing I've ever done, but Vincent was very sensitized to my needs, very gentle. . . . And we'd been intimate in the past." [9] Actress Jennifer Jason Leigh was initially set to play the role that Sevigny played, including the unsimulated oral sex scene, but ultimately turned the role down due to being in a relationship at the time.

After she signed on, Gallo drove straight to her summer rental home in Minnesota, where they filmed her one and only scene at a highway rest stop. “Vincent walked up and we had a casual dialogue, like, ‘Hi, how are you doing?’ We filmed one take, and Vincent said he didn’t want to do that. He wanted to shoot in silence,” recalls Tiegs. “So, the next take, he comes in, sits down, and we start kissing. All we did all day was kiss. He’s a very good kisser.” Before the film’s premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, there were false reports that her then-representatives at William Morris Agency dropped her. (The agency still represents her.) It was a different time. Paris Hilton’s sex tape wasn’t even out then, and it really seemed like Sevigny’s career would be forever tarnished by one scene.

Ugh, I have a really complicated relationship with those,” she said. “I don’t want to say I’m offended, ’cause that’s such a strong word. But I don’t enjoy them. I think because he’s a comedian. If he was more of a drag performer, I would feel like less–they hurt my feelings. Maybe I should be tougher, I don’t know. But they do.” It is recorded that Bonny was considered a "good catch" but may have had a fiery temper; she supposedly stabbed a servant girl with a knife. [11] She married a poor sailor and small-time pirate named James Bonny. [15] James hoped to win possession of his father-in-law's estate, but Bonny was disowned by her father. Anne's father did not approve of James Bonny as a husband for his daughter, and he threw Anne out of his house. [16]On the August 28, 2004 episode of the television show Ebert & Roeper, Ebert gave the new version of the film a "thumbs up" rating. In a column published about the same time, Ebert reported that he and Gallo had made peace. According to Ebert: Steven Hyden of Grantland similarly opined that " The Brown Bunny can be viewed as a depiction of the neediness and alienation at the core of traditional masculinity. Its final scene is perhaps best read as a critique of pornographic imagery, and a demonstration of how disturbing real live sex onscreen can be when human feeling isn’t forcibly removed." [13] The film required her to perform “unsimulated” fellatio on director, costar, and former boyfriend Vincent Gallo and the world absolutely lost it. I got my first studio film after that. I’d never been offered a studio film. It was Zodiac. I don’t think it really hurt me, necessarily. I mean, it hurt me, in a lot of ways…Some relationships have had trouble with it. Of course, my mom and I don’t talk about it.”
