Watch 'Snow White and The Huntsman' trailer

The teaser trailer for Kristen Stewart's 'Snow White and The Huntsman' debuted today, and as far as fantasy/thriller films go, this one looks like it's good enough in that it's borrowed many elements from other successful films of that genre.

Those black crows don't make me think of Saruman's spies, the Crebain.  The tree on Snow White's shield sure doesn't remind me of the White Tree of Gondor.  The horse riders in the foggy forest don't harken from 'Excalibur.'  Right?

Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen looks menacingly beautiful, and Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman is your typical medieval tough-guy with a big heart.  The costumes, cinematography, and SFX appear to be top-notch.

I cannot help but find it odd, however, that we hear Theron's cold and malice-infused voiceover, as well as Hemsworth's courageous declarations, but not a peep from the titled character.  Will Stewart have an English accent in the film?  Will her voice carry the character properly, as this Snow White is said to be not merely "the fairest in the land," but a warrior chick to boot?  Or--gasp--will this be a mute but powerful Snow White?  We can only guess; that's why it's a teaser trailer, after all.
