There's been some possibly leaked info here and there, mostly speculation probably but. The L.A. Noire face technology won't be used in GTA, it's too expensive. It's probably set in California/Los Angeles/Beverly Hills/Hollywood, in modern times. It might be something involving lawyers, bankers and actors. There could be multiple playable characters.
Personally I hope it will be set somewhere in the past. Vice City and San Andreas were the best. But there aren't many options left. GTA set in L.A. Noire's time would've been nice, but that's not going to happen obviously. And I think the 1920's, with the Mafia and prohibition, would make an excellent setting. But that too has been done a few times by other games. Maybe's the hippie era? That would be a funny setting, and good music. Weed would probably play a big role.
And I hope characters and their environment will be a bit more customizable. In GTA IV there just wasn't enough choice when it comes to clothes and stuff like that. But I'd prefer it to not be as ridiculous as Saints Row.
