Hawk Scope - what is it?

Was watching "Sunshine and loved the look of it and checked on IMDb (think what you will), but the tech specs mentioned Hawk Scope which clicking on that brought up a bunch of foreign films.

So, what is it?

As far as I can tell, searching online, it's referring to the anamorphic format - specifically when shot with 'Hawk Lenses' that are made by Vantage Film.

Here are a couple of links that mention it:
