In this interview, Jhonen says some great things that have so excited to see what they've created. It's like he really understands what made Zim so special and will deliver on that. Here are some highlights:
Taking a further page from the comic series, Vasquez explains how the bulk of the character development in the movie will come from Dib and his family.
“Character-wise, Zim, you can’t change him, he’s incredibly shallow,” Vasquez says. “There’s no introspection whatsoever. GIR, you can’t change him. He’s just an idiot and he’s insane. The only place there was a focus on developing stuff was with the Membrane family. I started with the comics, focusing on having Gaz and Dib feel more like a brother and sister as opposed to just people that hate each other. And their dad is more of a dad as opposed to this incredibly neglectful guy who just seems to have kids in his house.”
The pacing and comedy had to evolve for Florpus as well. Most episodes of the original series were divided into two stories at a little over 10 minutes each, but a feature-length Zim plot requires a different approach.
“There’s more time to develop a joke in 66 minutes,” Jhonen explains. “One of the first things that I thought was at that length we can’t just make a normal episode where they’re screaming all the time. You’ve got to have some changes in tone, and there has to be a little more of a story.”
[...]
We don’t want to aim our hopes too high, but, hopefully, in these turbulent modern times, Zim will swoop in and make everything better. Or, alternatively, could he make America worse?
“There is no worsening,” says Jhonen. Everyone laughs. “Zimjust doesn’t make sense anymore,” Vasquez continues. “I don’t know why we’re making this. It’d be like George Orwell writing Nineteen Eighty-Fourafter 1984happened. You can’t laugh at people being horrible now. It’s sort of like, ‘Oh, everyone’s horrible now.’”

Hardcover – April 2, 2019
Created by indie comics artist Jhonen Vasquez, Invader Zim tells the story of extraterrestrial outcast Zim, from the planet Irk. With the assistance of his malfunctioning robot GIR, Zim repeatedly tries (and fails) to execute his dastardly plan to conquer Earth, all while masquerading as an average elementary school student.
DOOM DOOM DOOM: The Art of Invader Zim is the definitive history of both the fan-favorite series and the upcoming Invader Zim television movie Enter the Florpus, airing in spring 2019. A fully authorized, all-access compendium of never-before-published production art, storyboards, behind-the-scenes photos, and ephemera, the book will feature exclusive, interviews with Vasquez and other key crewmembers that reveal the origins, art, and imagination behind one of Nickelodeon’s most beloved turn-of-the-millennium series.
Other details on the book include:
Price - $35
Hardcover - 240 pages

Fresh out of San Diego Comic-Con for you puny humans!!
I noticed that too. I think that's the frame rate of this video being 23.97fps instead of the usual 29.97fps we see in the show. Also I've noticed some of the animations advance every other frame, which happened in the show too, but maybe is a bit more noticeable in this case.
