On cautiously optimistic side, he probably couldnât do any worse than all of the characters in Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps combined. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1764183/ From IMDB: A troubled hedge fund magnate desperate to complete the sale of his trading empire makes an error that forces him to turn to an unlikely person for help.

...who then ends up becoming CEO of said bank and paying himself $1 in salary for the next 3 years as he navigates the credit crisis and financial bailout. (kidding, I'm sure Old Lane was legitimately bad)
Hollywood is so retarted. They should just make a movie about Jimmy Rogers played by Antony Hopkins. Or Marc Faber played by Gene Hackman. Put them together and put secret Bernanke soldiers in it too who want to kill them for dissing their boss. Box office hit 100%.
