Lens with look similar to Canon 50mm f1, but anamorphic?

Hi. I really like the look of Canon's 50mm f1.0 lenses (example: https://vimeo.com/10299744.)

Are there any anamorphic lenses that have a similar look (or a way to anamorphic-ify one without losing its character)? Anamorphic lenses look more cinematic (I hate to say it, but more 'epic' as the kids say) to me.

Thanks for any help :)

2X anamorphic lenses tend to already have less depth of field because on a similar-sized width of film or sensor, you use a longer focal length compared to spherical. But if you can find some anamorphic lenses in that f/1.4 to f/2 range, then I'm sure you'll have plenty of softness...
